[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 4103156, member: 7157"] My gf and I have an ongoing argument about the answer to this problem. Let’s say you want to acquire a plant to harvest berries from it. However, that plant needs to be in close proximity to another of the same plant, but of the opposite sex, in order for the female in the pair to produce berries. You can’t determine the sex of each plant, so you decide to bump up the odds by buying three plants and putting them in the same small garden. What are the odds that you’ll get berries from that group of three plants? You don’t care which plant or plants produce berries; you just want to acquire berries from that group of three plants. What do you think is the answer, and how do you calculate the odds? [/QUOTE]
