Glad to inform you guys, that I have finally became a master. Now, I don't know what to do next, maybe I could come up with a new blog "Mashups for aspiring IMs" ? Lol.

Do anyone of you have any other interesting ideas for me or the community ?

can someone explain problem c of 11th Dec that why is the probability of a student who reads message mi
is ki/t if t>ki ?
shouldn't it be ncr(t,ki-1)/ncr(t,ki) where we are fixing the message which the ith student to read.
In question it was given all k sets are equiprobable but I couldn't understand why it is the reason for probability as ki/t ?

    Sorry for late reply, but it's good you asked this. Actually, when you're fixing the message $$$m_i$$$, then you have to choose rest $$$k_i - 1$$$ messages out of $$$t - 1$$$ messages (note that total messages would also decrease by 1). So, the numerator in your formula was wrong.

    greys can try to solve solve 1200-2000 problems. (+500) of your rating is recommended range to maintain balance between upsolving and not getting demotivated
