The aim of this talk will be to give some interesting results that come from elementary probability and counting. We will look at some interesting "real life" questions and compute some odds. We will look at some elementary problems in counting and probability (most with absolutely astounding answers).
This talk will be quite accessible to ALL undergraduate and high school students. During the talk we will have a trial game-show (to test some probability) and we will learn at least a little bit about being a better poker player. I will leave you with an upcoming teaser: "If you spill some ink in the ocean what is the chance that you will ever encounter any of the original ink again?" The answer may surprise you.
Come one, come all...I hope to see you on Friday.
