  1. [X] [O] [O] [O]
  2.  
  3. P(hitting target on first try) = 1/4
  4.  
  5. FOUR SCENARIOS
  6. P(knife missing) = 3/4
  7. P(knife hitting) = 1/4
  8.  
  9. A = P(hitting first and missing second) = 1/4 * 3/4 = 3/16
  10. B = p(missing first and hitting second) = 3/4 * 1/4 = 3/16
  11. C = p(missing both) = 3/4 * 3/4 = 9/16
  12. D = p(hitting both) = 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16
  13.  
  14. 3 + 3 + 9 + 1 = 16/16 (Good, we covered all scenarios for the two juggles)
  15.  
  16. P(at least one knife hitting) = A + B + D = 3/16 + 3/16 + 1/16 = 7/16 ~ 43.75%
