Three classical probability problems: the Hungarian roulette

Probability 2024-06-28 v2

Abstract

In this paper three unrelated problems will be discussed. What connects them is the rich methodology of classical probability theory. In the first two problems we have a complete answer to the problems raised; in the third case, what we call the Hungarian roulette problem, we only have a conjecture with heuristic justification.
