In a tournament with equally skilled opponents, the probability of a player finsishing 1st equals his fraction of the chips. But how do you calculate the probabality of a player finishing in 2nd, 3rd, etc.?
For example, with 4 player left with the following chips fractions (A=.1, B=.2, C=.3, D=.4), what is the prob of each finishing in 2nd, 3rd and 4th?

So you are saying that the question is inherently unsolvable? For some reason that doesn't seem right to me.
