Lets Call 50

I saw this puzzle on the site http://www.crackpuzzles.com/

Suppose two players are playing a game where we call integers. The first person who calls 50 wins. The rules are that the first person calls a number between 1 and 10. After that any new number that is called must exceed the last number by at least one and no more than by 10. For example: If the last number called is 15, then the next number that is called must be between 16-25.
I give you the first mover advantage, devise a strategy to win.

Fraction Brainteaser

Source: Sent to me by Gaurav Sinha Problem: Siddhant writes a Maths test and correctly answers 5 out of 6 Arithmetic questions and 20 out of 28 Geometry questions.  In total, Siddhant scores 25 out of 34.  Vaibhav writes another Maths test and correctly answers 20 out of 25 Arithmetic questions and 6 out of 9 Geometry questions. in total, Vaibhav scores 26 out of 34. Note that a) Vaibhav scores more than Siddhant b) Siddhant score better than Vaibhav in both individual topics -  5/6 > 20/25 and 20/28 > 6/9 How is it possible?

Consecutive Heads

Let's say A keep tossing a fair coin, until he get 2 consecutive heads, define X to be the number of tosses for this process; B keep tossing another fair coin, until he get 3 consecutive heads, define Y to be the number of the tosses for this process. 1) Calculate P{X>Y} 2) What's the expected value of X 3) What's the expected value of Y This is probably the hardest puzzle I have ever put on my blog. Hence, I will post its solution in the post directly rather than on comment. Solution: 1) (Solved by me finally after 13 months :)) Make a state diagram. Let the state be (a,b) where a is the number of consecutive heads streak "A" is on currently and b is the number of consecutive heads streak "B" is on currently. So, (0,3) (1,3) are final accepted states and (2,0) (2,1) (2,2) (2,3) are failure states. If you get tails, your contribution to the state reaches to "0" f(State) = P(X>Y | "State" configuration initially)
