    They are working out this problem from their statistics and probability class:

    Each of 2 balls is painted either black or gold and then placed in an urn. Suppose that each ball is colored black with probability 1/2, and that these events are independent. (A) suppose that you obtain information that the black paint has been used (and thus at least one of the balls is painted black). Compute the conditional probability that both balls are painted black. (ii) Suppose, now, that the urn tips over and 1 ball falls out. It is painted gold. What is the probability that both balls are gold in this case? Explain.

    Uh, they did it for a lark. Part of a spree. High spirits, you know. Simple as that.

    No, no. No. No, no

    Well, actually, they're on a mission for British Intelligence. There's a pro-Tsarists Ashanti Chief.....

    No, no. No. No, no

    All right. All right. We are painting the balls black because he had an auntie who did it in eighteen-thirty-nine, and this is the 180th anniversary.
