Solutions with descriptive explanations #1

Hi Adrian,

The app is great! Unfortunately, some questions are quite hard (the "Getting serious" category) and there are no solutions.

I found this: https://kalamdeveloper.wordpress.com/2017/12/18/games-mathematicsprobability-puzzles-getting-serious-33-33-solved-33/

But not all have proper explanation. Would it be an idea to extend their solutions with more text/visualisations?

Best

Hello! I'm glad you're enjoying the app (and thank you for opening this issue).

You're right, I have never written down solutions for all of the puzzles -- I was worried that people would often give in to the temptation to look at the solutions (I know I'd peek at solutions if I had them) and would never go through the trouble of actually solving the puzzles.

Are there any specific puzzles in the "getting serious" category for which you'd like a solution?

Hi Adrian, I found the app great too! Thanks for designing and providing the questions.

I have attempted to give explanations to all questions at the getting serious category. They can be found at my GitHub repo https://github.com/hongwai1920/Probability-Puzzles/blob/master/Getting%20Serious.pdf
