TGIF!

Let's greet the weekend with another little Statistics/probability problem, shall we?

In Hungary and there are two women who sit at the same obscure, sign-less crossroad to advise passers-by whether they should turn left or right. Direction-giver-A is known to be right 60% of the time. Direction-giver-B is known to be right 30% of the time.

Which direction-giver would you choose to ask directions from--A or B? And why?

Fun stuff!

(I promise I'll stop soon.)

Noone wants to play Statistics riddles anymore... :-(

Nope. They make me feel inferior.
