    Prob. question.

    Ok, person A randomly gets a number from 1 to 100.
    Person B randomly gets a number from 1 to 70.

    What are the chances that Person A's number is > Person B's number?

    30% of the time, A will win regardless of what B gets.
    The rest is 50/50? So would it be 30 % + 45%? or 75% of the time A will win?

    [Edit]: It can't be exactly 30%, it must be at least > 50%, I'm guessing its 75%
