perplexus.info :: Probability : Lying gambler

Lying gambler (Posted on 2010-10-21)

A gambler throws a die and tells the score. He tells truth 3/4 of the times that he speaks and randomly lies 1/4 of the times that he speaks. If he says it is a six, what is the probability that he actually got a six?
