The only two I remember from the phone calls: 1) Consider a triangle of uniform probability defined by points (0,0), (0,1),(1,0) . What is the least square line that fits this data? 2) Monty hall problem (yawn)

1st question they asked me to find the expected value of 2 12-sided die. 2nd question they asked me which would I rather do, roll one 12-sided die and double the number or roll 2 12 sided die and add them together. If the number is <13, then your payoff is 0, and if It's over 13 your payoff is whatever number you get.
