This is one of my favourite problems, I still remember that it has a very real edge case even though I solved it more than 10 years ago. Thank you for the problem!
- knollimar 11mo agoCan you reuse a plate with 500?
- hatthew 11mo agoThe wording seems to strongly imply no; you need two separate plates with 500 on them.
- SethTro 11mo agoI'm glad you enjoyed! It was a real game I played when driving around.
- JohnLocke4 11mo agoIs your real name also Seth? This is wholesome and hilarious
- SethTro 11mo agoYes, the other name in the problem is my sister's name :)
- vhcr 11mo agoI'm guessing if you only calculate based on the digits, the probability is going to be slightly different than the real one, because you only have a finite number of plates you can choose from.
- dpacmittal 11mo agoSounds like the birthday paradox problem. Is it?
- LanceH 11mo agoNearly, but not 8 digits of precision worth.
