Re: A Much Simpler Version Of The \"Blackjack Paradox\"
"To "make the numbers work out":
- chances player B sees the same colour as player A are 25/51. So 25/51 they bet the same way. Then they both win 26/50 of the time.
- chances player B sees the opposite colour are 26/51. Then they bet opposite ways and each wins 50% of the time.
So the probability of winning for either player is (25/51 * 26/51) + (1/2 * 26/51) = 26/51.
Still don't see what the problem is."

Cool. Most people can't answers problems they see. You answered one you couldn't see.
