I liked the 125 unanswered questions in science. I found this probability question in an article written by a physicist:

You have 10 soccer balls in a straight line on a soccer field, each ball 3 feet from the other. By kicking the first ball, try to make each ball hit the next one in line, so that all 10 balls are hit. Furthermore, try to predict the final position of each ball. What is the probability of success?
