Drunk man and keys problem

<p>The drunk man and keys problem is a simple but interesting probability problem.</p> <p>A drunk man, returning home, is trying to open his house door with a bunch of keys. There are 10 keys in the bunch, but only 1 fits the door. He selects a key at random. If it fits the door he lets himself in, but if it doesn&rsquo;t fit he tries again. Because he is drunk, he doesn&rsquo;t remember which keys he has already tried, so he makes a totally random choice from the 10 keys each time.</p> <p>The question is, on which attempt is he most likely to get in?</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/recreational-maths/drunk-man-and-keys-problem-37df70a0cf15"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
