The Roulette Conundrum
Here is a probabilty puzzle, the answer to which may be disputed.
Given an unbiased roulette wheel with a single zero:
"How many non-zero spins are most likely to occur consecutively?"
To avoid any ambiguity, imagine you had to bet on precisely how many 1-36 numbers will come up between two zero spins. Assume that if you guessed correctly you would win a large money jackpot - and you're allowed to bet on any figure you like.
Which figure would you choose?
Or are they all equally probable?
