That's nice. You're still wrong. I think the problem and the solution has clearly been explained in this thread alone, so if you have any arguments - this would be the time to present them. But I won't be holding my breath, personally. Probability's a b*tch and using intuition when dealing with it is a bad idea. And mathematically - the correct solution is clear.
