For me both problem 2 and problem 3 should also be 1/2 . The variances are due to how people interpret the outcome space . It is right that probability = favaroble out comes / total possible outcomes. In problem 2, in my opinion

You can still answer 'no' without violating the law , if you rearrange the headline a bit without changing its meaning at all. Will your grandkids run out of oxygen to breathe by 2100? No.

I am not vagrant user... but what role can it play when my dev laptop is ubuntu for eg? Does it become redundant layer if all my virtualization,configuration and deployment needs are met by docker and dockerfile?
