Raffle tickets numbered 1 through 30 are placed in a box. Tickets for a second
raffle numbered 21 to 48 are placed in another box. One ticket is randomly drawn
from each box. What is the probability that both tickets will be greater than 20
or less than 30?
This is a trick question.  Every number is either greater than 20 or else it's
less than 30.  It's bound to be one or the other, if not both, like 25.

All the tickets in both boxes are either greater than 20 or less than 30.

So the probability is 1.  :)
