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.)

In World War II, the Japanese Navy, which still used human spotters to detect enemy ships, denounced the use of radar by the American Navy.

Ummmm..... Who won that war ?
