Of course, there are problems with the logic (e.g. how do you define the probability of being left handed? one person, two hands, pick one, 50/50. One definition. ps, I like your description of problem better. :) )

BigV - I'm not sure I'm following.

If you were to flip five fair coins, how many would you expect to turn up heads, on average?

Funny....my answer was that they were all artists of some kind.

Intriguing. The top 3 kids in my high school graduating class were left handed. That was a class of almost 800. Great comeback!

Were you one of the three?

Hell no. I was in the top 16 1/2 % which is like number 118 or so.
