# This playbook assumes the WebSphere MQ file provided by IBM has already been
# downloaded to a specific directory (target.wd) on the server. 
#
# ${target.wd} is a variable representing the working directory on the target
# server the MQ client will be installed.
#
# Note: Although this playbook is designed to be able to be run independently,
# it is in fact part of a longer playbook and therefore may have some other
# unexpected dependencies not reflected here.

From a comment by aws17576 on MetaFilter:

By the way, I wholeheartedly endorse Persi Diaconis's comment that probability is one area where even experts can easily be fooled. This was demonstrated to me in grad school when my advisor, addressing a roomful of mathematicians, posed this problem:

Person A flips a coin repeatedly, stopping the first time two heads in a row appear. Person B flips a coin repeatedly, stopping the first time a head and then a tail appear in a row. Who will flip the coin more times on average -- A, B, or is there no difference?

He let everyone think for a moment, then took a show of hands. Almost everyone got it wrong.
