Question 1129069: Four employees drive to work in the same car. The workers claim they were late to work because of a flat tire. Their managers ask the workers to identify the tire that went flat; front driver's side, front passenger's side, rear driver's side, or rear passenger's side. If the workers didn't really have a flat tire and each randomly selects a tire, what is the probability that all four workers select the same tire?
