exact solutions
-- If the spinner is honest and the sections are all the same size, then
each section should have an equal chance of being landed on.
-- If there are 4 sections, then the chance of landing on each one
should be 1/4 or 25%.
-- The chance doesn't depend on how many times you try it.
If there are 4 sections, then each one should come up
25% of the time.
i think that it is the third one
Hello!
