Puzzle 12

Fifty people, standing in a line, are to be assigned fifty tokens. Lets call them person 1, person 2....person 50 and token 1, token 2....token 50. A person will always be assigned a token with the same number as his number (except person 1), if that numbered token is not available, he will be assigned a random token. Person 1 is assigned a random token. You start assigning tokens from person 1 and go in sequential order. What is the probability that person 50 will be assigned token 50.
Example: For 4 people, P1->T2, P2->T1, P3->T3, P4->T4 is valid.  P1->T2, P2->T4, P3->T1, P4->T4 is invalid.

Arvind Kejriwal to be sworn in as Delhi CM today

And the day has arrived finally ....

One year old Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) leader Shri Arvind Kejriwal(AK) is to be sworn in as Chief Minister of Delhi today at Ramlila Maidan. 45-year old AK is the youngest CM of Delhi. More than 100,000 people are expected to attend this ceremony at Ramlila which is being held in public. AK is expected to take Delhi metro train from his house to the venue. Now that's a people's CM.

Just a few months back, other political parties had dismissed AAP saying they are not a true political party and wont be able to win more than 4-5 seats in Delhi. After winning 28 seats in Delhi and now forming the government, AK and his party has brought a political revolution in India.
 
It sure is a historic day in the politics of India. People in India are comparing this day to 15 Aug 1947, the day when India got independence. This is the beginning of a new political era in India.

AK has a lot of his responsibility on his shoulders in coming months and would be exciting to watch him in action.
