TED-Ed: Can you solve the basketball robot riddle? | Dan Katz

The video tutorial discusses a scenario where a robot, Dunkomatic, is designed to play basketball against humans. The challenge is to adjust the robot's probability of success to ensure a fair game. The solution involves using geometric series to calculate the probability, ensuring both human and robot have equal chances of winning. The demonstration is successful, and the presenter explains the company's overpromises and the quick solution devised. The outcome leads to a positive career change for the presenter.
