Expected value of heads and tails of two coin flips -> E(t(10-t) = 10E(t) - E(t^2) = 50 - (25 + 10/4) = 22.5 What is the set of numbers between 2 and 30, without the same common factor (e.g. 26 and 24 share 2, so they cannot be in the same set) that will you give you a max sum? Using the same rules, what is the highest possible number you can have in a set of 1000?

Basic Maths, probability, a brain teaser. suppose you are standing at 1/3 the length of a bridge and you hear a train coming from backwards. You have just enough time to run back and get off the bridge before the train hits you. You also have just enough time if you decide to run forwards. What is the relative speed between you and the train.
