A boy and a girl agree to meet in the park. Each will show up at a random time between 12:00 and 13:00, and wait for the other person 20 minutes, but not past 13:00.
What is the probability that they will actually meet?
I just listed the boys arrival times in a column and then figured out the chance they would meet dependent upon the girls arrival times and then averaged them all.
