@ -14,24 +14,26 @@ She suggests they play a game of chance to determine who will wash the dishes.
For this game, they shall use a generator of independent random numbers uniformly distributed between 0 and 1.
The game starts with S = 0.
The game starts with $S = 0$.
The first player, Louise, adds to S different random numbers from the generator until S > 1 and records her last random number 'x'.
The first player, Louise, adds to $S$ different random numbers from the generator until $S > 1$ and records her last random number '$x$'.
The second player, Julie, continues adding to S different random numbers from the generator until S > 2 and records her last random number 'y'.
The second player, Julie, continues adding to $S$ different random numbers from the generator until $S > 2$ and records her last random number '$y$'.
The player with the highest number wins and the loser washes the dishes, i.e. if y > x the second player wins.
The player with the highest number wins and the loser washes the dishes, i.e. if $y > x$ the second player wins.
For example, if the first player draws 0.62 and 0.44, the first player turn ends since 0.62+0.44 > 1 and x = 0.44. If the second players draws 0.1, 0.27 and 0.91, the second player turn ends since 0.62+0.44+0.1+0.27+0.91 > 2 and y = 0.91. Since y > x, the second player wins.
For example, if the first player draws 0.62 and 0.44, the first player turn ends since $0.62 + 0.44 > 1$ and $x = 0.44$. If the second players draws 0.1, 0.27 and 0.91, the second player turn ends since $0.62 + 0.44 + 0.1 + 0.27 + 0.91 > 2$ and $y = 0.91$. Since $y > x$, the second player wins.
Louise thinks about it for a second, and objects: "That's not fair". What is the probability that the second player wins? Give your answer rounded to 10 places behind the decimal point in the form 0.abcdefghij
