There is a village that has five fortune tellers.
The first fortune teller's prediction has 83 % chance of being correct. The second has 59 % chance of being correct, the third 48 %, the fourth 26 %, and the fifth 12 %.
If you were trying to get the best prediction of your future, which fortune teller would you go to?
=) first
=) second
=) third
=) fourth
=) fifth

I will go to the fifth one.
If he predicts that there will be an earthquake, it is 88 % sure that there will not be an earthquake
Go to him and believe just the opposite of what he said
