Problem Description
A box contains black balls and a single red ball. Alice and Bob draw balls from this box without replacement, alternating after each draws until the red ball is drawn. The game is won by the player who happens to draw the single red ball. Bob is a gentleman and offers Alice the choice of whether she wants to start or not. Alice has a hunch that she might be better off if she starts; after all, she might succeed in the first draw. On the other hand, if her first draw yields a black ball, then Bob’s chances to draw the red ball in his first draw are increased, because then one black ball is already removed from the box. How should Alice decide in order to maximize her probability of winning? Help Alice with decision.
