Shaggy-dog stories of probability. (English) Zbl 1250.97022

Menemui Mat. 26, No. 2, 13-17 (2004).

From the introduction: We believe that young students enjoy problems posed within a story-like setting. Thus we offer for their amusement four problems in probability that arose at a summer camp for promising young canine mathematicians. We hope that the problems will be instructive and that they will bring a smile or two as well.
