Answer: 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that 5 puzzles were solved in 5mins. That is, 1min for each puzzle to be solved.

From our assumption, our sample size will be 5.

The probability that a subject will solve more than 1 puzzle will be number of occurrence from 2 to 5 which is 4.

This gives: 4/5 = 0.8 to one decimal place.
