A bag has three coins in it which are visually indistinguishable, but when flipped, one coin has a 10% chance of coming up heads, another as a 30% chance of coming up heads, and the last has 60% chance of coming up heads.

4 problems in total with the last two being dice problems. The problems themselves aren't difficult but to answer them accurately, fast on the spot is non-trivial. Forget about the green book - only do dice and card problems and scrape the whole glassdoor.
