Compute the Probability Two Bloom Intervals Overlap

Read the full interview experience this question came from →

Quick Overview

Compute the overlap probability for two independently timed flower blooms with different durations. The geometric solution subtracts two nonoverlap triangles from the start-time square, handles boundary events and post-window bloom time, and simplifies the result to 31/72.
