| Oct 16, 2022 at 1:32 | comment | added | Will Orrick | @Arslán In the vast majority of cases most passengers will sit correctly. For every passenger (up to certain point) to sit incorrectly an extremely unlikely sequence of events has to occur, namely P1 has to sit in P2's seat, P2 has to sit in P3's seat, P3 has to sit in P4's seat, and so on. If, for example, P1 sits in P3's seat instead of P2's seat, then P2 will sit correctly; if P1 sits in P73's seat, P2 through P72 will sit correctly (and other, later passengers will likely sit correctly as well). | |
| Jan 12, 2022 at 4:26 | comment | added | Arslán | if every single passenger ends up sitting incorrectly such that once S98 is seated only seat 5 and 54 are empty, then what happens? it is not necessary that 1 or 100 will have am equal probability for P100 | |
