Not E.E., but a problem in logic. Which is topical for any engineer -
A village holds an election for mayor. There's a single voting booth, with a box which accumulates paper ballots. (those were the days) The voting slips are removed from the box, one by one, and tallied.
Al runs against Bob. Al receives A votes, Bob gets B; A + B = N Al take the prize.
What is the chance (probability) that, during the tally, at least one tie occurred?
