Question

In Ping-Toss, the object is to toss two Ping-Pong balls so they each land in a red section of the stick-em board. Phil’s first toss landed in a red section. How does his chance of winning change if he is allowed to remove the first ball before he tosses the second?

Answer 1

It depends on how you view it.

Essentially, one person might argue that he has a better chance because he has more room to land the ball in the red, but others might argue that it has no true effect. I believe it increases his chances of winning because of the ability to land the ball in the red.

Answer 2

It increases, because if the first ball is left in a red section, there is less red area for the second ball to land on. - trust
