Can you submit directly to the Carnival? Otherwise we’ll need to contact Alon.

Is it known yet who the next host will be? I had been thinking of submitting something for this carnival, but I couldn’t figure out who to send my submission to.

I’m also planning to redo (properly this time!) my answers to your earlier post about dice throwing probabilities — I’m rather embarassed at the incorrect answers in my comment.

In return, here’s a puzzle for you to have a think about:
