military decision
two midget subs want to sink an enemy carrier
one sub carries the torp, the other is packed with radar-jammimg devices
they have to go through a narrow, guarded channel, one ahead of the other
the enemy can attack one sub only
the chance the first sub in the channel will survive an attack is 80% but for the second it is 60% as the enemy has more warning
if the sub carrying the torp gets through it is 100% certain to succeed in its mission
which sub should carry the torpedo and how likely are we to destroy the enemy aircraft carrier?
