In this video, I solve a probability problem posted on a window in Los Angeles. The problem reads: "Alice + Bob play a game with a fair 6-sided die. First person to roll 6 wins. Alice rolls first, then they take turns. What is the probability Bob wins?"

While this is a fairly easy problem to state, it's actually quite tricky to solve! Watch the full video to see the solution!
