Today's Question - You have exactly $1.00 in a total of 50 coins. You accidentally drop all the coins on the ground and one rolls into the sewer. What are the odds that the one coin that rolled into the sewer was a quarter?

Reveal Answer Corner Answer - There are two separate combinations of 50 coins that add up to $1.00 (Set A - 40 pennies; 8 nickels; 2 dimes or Set B - 45 pennies; 2 nickels; 2 dimes; 1 quarter.) Since we don\'t know for sure which set you carried and dropped the universe is 100 coins. (If you dropped "Set A", the chances were 0 in 50 and for "Set B", the chances are 1 in 50.) So....given the universe, chances are 1 in 100 it was a quarter.
