    Does probability apply here? |

  From Paul: Suppose I have a dice in my hand that I am about to roll.  The probability that I roll a six is, all things being equal, 1/6.  I accept that.
  
Suppose now the I roll the dice and immediately cup my hand over the result.  What is the probability that I have rolled a six?  People seem to want to say it is still 1/6.  But it can't be can it!?  It is surely either 1 or 0, depending on whether I have in fact rolled a six? Answered by Robert Dawson. |
