EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF OPEN-HOUSE-ILITY



Math problem - Disclaimer: This may or may not have happened last night.

If a parent has a 25% chance of attending the 1 correct presentation out of 4, attends 2 of the same presentations but neither was the right 1/4 possibilities, does that make her 50% correct? Or is she 100% wrong for missing the right 1 presentation altogether?  And if I don't figure the problem out until 8 hours later, does that make me 75% culpable since she attended 2, should've attended a different 1, yet still managed to miss 1 completely and I wasn't sharp enough to figure that out last night before 7:20?

Inquiring and computative minds want to know.
