Re: Probability Problem (non-poker)
You guys are oversimplifying the problem I think. The key word in the problem is "exact". If 9/10 are blue, the .9^5 = .5905 = about 59%. That's not "exactly 50/50".
This is more like a linear/integer programming problem - iterations are the only way to get at it. I used Excel and got
5129 = Blue
5892 = Non-Blue
