9. Andrew has 20 chocolate candies in the fridge. Every day at 4 p.m., Andrew will eat
either one or two candies. Bob, Andrew’s little brother, will sneak and take Andrew’s
candy at 7 p.m. However, Bob will only take one candy if and only if the number of

10. A bag containing 3 black and 3 white balls is used to play a two-player game. One
player chooses a number 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 and the other will draw the chosen number of
balls from the bag without looking. A winner emerges if the number of black balls
drawn is less than the number of white balls. Given that the probability of winning is
