Default Re: Riddle -- Probability of Expectation

[ QUOTE ]
If one of the letters is an H it really doesn't effect the chance of an E showing up because if it wasn't an H it would still be something other than E.

But it does affect it. If the first letter is an "h," then there are only 35 chances to get an "e." If it is not an "h," then there is 1/25 instead of 1/26 that it is an "e."
