Nathan is using the random number string below in a simulation. He wants to determine how many people he has to meet before he finds one that is left-handed.

1 5 8 9 7 8 2 3 6 7 0 5 6 5 9 3 7 0 9 4

He lets each number in the string represent a person, with 0 representing left-handed people and 1 through 9 representing right-handed people. According to the simulation, how many people does he have to meet until he finds the first left-handed person?

Answer: 11 people.

For this question, ignore all numbers that are not 0 to start with, as 0 is the only number that shows you an individual who is left-handed. Now, take a look at where 0 is. How many numbers do you see before it? There are 10 numbers before 0, and if you add 1 more, there are 11 in total. The first left-handed person is the 11th person Nathan will meet.
