@Jihkro, you need to think interpretation 3 through more carefully. The peeker is twice as likely to announce "At least one of the dice is a 2" in the case where the roll is a pair of 2s (where he...

Definitely true; but I don't think that changes anything in my post. In interpretation 2, your partner has to see/interpret both dice before reporting in the negative, so it doesn't matter if he...
That's the original question, verbatim, from the original thread. There are two interpretations, one of which yields 1/6 as the correct answer, and one of which yields 1/11. There should be...
There aren't 11 different faces for the hidden die to be showing, of course. There are six. That tells you nothing AT ALL about the probability of each face unless you assume they're all equally...
This doesn't take a few days to figure out. As many have pointed out, it's an elementary exercise in a first-year probability course to show that the answer is 1/11. It might take a few days to...
I don't mean to be rude, but is English your native language? The definition of the set is, in fact, worded to work for both the general and the specific. The question "did you get at least 11?"...
One more thing... one might argue that you *do* have extra information in the case where a 2 is set aside ("frozen") from the start: namely, you know *which* die is a guaranteed 2. Perhaps that...
Alan, you seem dug in on the idea that if the probability is 1/11, then someone should be able to show eleven equally likely outcomes using a single die. And no one can... but this is a red herring....
