У машины четыре колеса, и если буквами ПП обозначить правое переднее колесо, ну и так далее, получится 16 возможных комбинаций ответов студентов. Если первый ответ из списка означает ответ студента № 1, а второй — ответ студента № 2, получатся следующие возможные совместные ответы: (ПП, ПП), (ПП, ЛП), (ПП, ПЗ), (ПП, ЛЗ), (ЛП, ПП), (ЛП, ЛП), (ЛП, ПЗ), (ЛП, ЛЗ), (ПЗ, ПП), (ПЗ, ЛП), (ПЗ, ПЗ), (ПЗ, ЛЗ), (ЛЗ, ПП), (ЛЗ, ЛП), (ЛЗ, ПЗ), (ЛЗ, ЛЗ). Из этих 16 комбинаций 4 совпадают: (ПП, ПП), (ЛП, ЛП), (ПЗ, ПЗ), (ЛЗ, ЛЗ). Таким образом, шансы равны 4 из 16, или 1 из 4.
