Here is PUZZLE 1:
You are the king of shapeworld, which boasts a population of 1 million shapes.
Unfortunately, the gods demand that you must sacrifice 1000 shapes to appease their wrath.
Being the king of shapeworld, you have the ability to immediately count your population. Shapeworld has:
300 thousand triangles,
200 thousand squares,
350 thousand pentagons,
100 thousand hexagons,
48 thousand kites,
and 2 thousand trapisboigles, an exotic shape.
However, unknown to you, the only sacrifice that will appease the gods is thus:
500 triangles,
50 squares,
50 pentagons,
100 hexagons,
290 kites,
10 trapisboigles,
What's the probability that the king of shapeworld will appease the gods, if the king of shapeworld sacrifices according to a random lottery?
