You are given 8 possible writers that we talked about in a certain time frame, and you will have to compare 2 sets of them (4 writers total). There are 10 writers in said time frame, so he will be dropping 2 writers.
If you write 2 comparisons the day before the final, what is the probability that one or more of your chosen writers will be dropped from the list?
It looks like a straight-forward 50%, but I think I may be wrong.
