A puzzle in probability.
A deck is shuffled and bridge hands (13 cards each) are dealt.
You choose one player and ask if his hand has at least one ace; he says yes.
The deck is shuffled and hands are dealt again. You again choose one
player but this time ask if the ace of spades is in his hand; he says yes.
Which hand was more likely to contain more than one ace,
the first hand you asked about or the second?
