<r>If there is just one game, you look how risk-averse (lover) you are.What you're asking is what is the probability of an event which never occurs again? And there is no events which occur exactly twice (as Traden4Alpha noticed).There may be several answers. 1) with the classial approach to probabi...

Looks like it...Assume the probability of the event is p.Then E(days) = p + (1-p)(1+E(days)) => E(days) = 1/p.We have E(days) = N thus p = 1/N.P(Only after N days) = (1-p)^N (I assume that this is what means by "only after N days")Thus (1-1/N)^N -> 1/e with N->\infty.

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: animeshsaxenaCan't it be 90? Yes it can be.....hence my proof.Of course it can. But then the left(right) side of the green angle is the diameter.My thought is that if we have any point A, then the position of B or C has to be in front of A, thus in the particular point....

QuoteOriginally posted by: animeshsaxenaYou can have a right angled triangle using two chords. It surely doesn't always have to use diameter of the circle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_angle_theorem

QuoteOriginally posted by: capafan2All major IB's , Hedge funds do it. Also large firms like IBM, Google will do it. Large consulting firms like TekSystems would do it as well.That's encouraging! Can you recall any specific examples of the events in mind?

Why did you not ask it on the interview (say, what is the proportion of programming/math they are doing? Is it back/front office?) before you were offered the job?

Assuming A,B,C are uniformly distributed along the circle.My suggestions:1. zero (because the probability of any point being at a particular place is zero, and a right-angle triangle has to have one diameter side).2. 1/4 (C has to be to the right of AO and to the left of BO for any A and B).
