Default Re: The tennis serve problem

Toms solution is correct for the two serve case.

For the three serve case the solution is:

First try
82.64
Second try:
Pass then 102.09
Fail then 74.74
Third Try:
Pass Pass 111.05
Pass Fail 101.32
Fail Pass 97.37
Fail Fail 60

This results in an expectation of 82.11
