I'm probably completely wrong, but I think they're all equal. Your chance of getting it right is 1/q , where q it the amount of people left including you (21-your place). This should be multiplied by the chance of someone else having not already guessed it, so q/20 . You then get 1/q*q/20 , which ca...
