Puzzle Contest #11 - First to get all the correct answers wins 10 SBD, all attempts will receive an upvote.
Hi Everyone,
Spectrum Economics is holding its eleventh solve the puzzle contest. This post contains 4 puzzles. The first person to solve all the puzzles wins 10 SBD (5 SBD for this contest plus another 5 SBD from last week’s contest). If we do not get a winner, the prize money of this contest will be added to the available winnings of the next puzzle contest.
How to Enter
To enter requires 1 upvote. Each entrant into the contest is only allowed 1 attempt. The attempt needs to be done in the comments section of the post. In previous contests, I have allowed 2 attempts but because of the number of responses I have been receiving, my steem power has been struggling to keep up.
Some questions have several parts to them, all parts of each question need to be answered correctly for a chance to win.
I expect the answers to be presented in following format:
Answer 1a, 1b, 1c
Answer 2
Answer ? = …, odd one out is …
Answer Bill should bet $... on Sprinter …. This gives a Bill …% chance of winning $1,000,000
The closing date and time for the contest is 6PM USA Eastern Time 28/01/2018. Responses after this time will not be accepted. The answers will be provided in the comments section after the contest closes. The explanations for the answers will be provided in a separate post a few days after the contest closes.
The winner of the contest will be announced in the comments section. The 10 SBD will be paid to the winner as soon as I receive the payout from the post. All attempts in the comments section will receive an upvote regardless of answers provided. That’s right, I am also rewarding participation. Good luck everybody. The value of the upvote will depend upon my voting power at the time.
Let the Contest Begin
Question 1: Replace all the question marks with the correct answers
Question2: Replace the question mark with the correct answer
Question 3: Replace the question mark with the correct answer and find the odd one out

Thank you for participating.
We have reached the end of Puzzle Contest #11. I would like to congratulate @cryptobserver as the first person to provide all the correct answers.
The answers to the questions are as follows:
I will be posting the explanations in another post very soon.
I would also like to thank all those that participated for their time and effort. I will have another contest in a few days time.
I think You have to review about 100 %. 100 % if he has record 13/0, not 12/1. It's not mathematical logic.
think about the task. It isnt 100% certain that Sprinter B wins, but if Bill bets between $15.17 and $15.99 it is 100% certain that he will have more money than Jack and therefore he will win certainly.
it's like You Throwing dice. If you throw a single dice, then it can fall six ways, each of which is equally likely if the dice is true. So the probability of getting one particular value is 1/6.
