Maximum sum (Posted on 2004-07-29) Difficulty: 3 of 5
What's the probability that n random numbers from [0,1] will sum less than 1?

(For purists: "uniformly distributed, independent" random numbers are assumed.)

Question UGH! | Comment 5 of 10 |

Hei, why must pc programs or help from devices be used to solve questions?!!

Isn't a challenge to the mind? No, I know it is faster and more convinient. But using our own head is more meaningful.
