Answer 1

Given:

Total students to board the Hogwarts Express = 100 students
The first student occupies the wrong seat.
Each student occupies the allocated seat (if available) if not, he chooses a seat at random.

Determine the chance that the last passenger will get to his seat:

1/99 = 0.01 * 100 = 1.01%
