There's a glitch in ChatRoulette, and it matches you with a completely random person, despite your request to be matched with someone of a particular gender. Suppose that 70% of ChatRoulette participants are men (30% are women); 80% of participants are bat-shit crazy (20% are sane); and the proportion of crazies is the same regardless of gender. What is the probability that your next match is a sane woman?
