In manual typing, two spaces were generally required after full stops and colons, but now, especially with the advent of electronic and computer-based composition, inserting only one space has become a common convention.

Semicolons then, as now, can be followed by one or two spaces. More often than not, only one space is used.

A spinner has 13 equal sized spaces It has 4 red spaces 4 green spaces 3 yellow spaces and 2 orange spaces If Jake spins the spinner 2 times what is the probability he will get an orange space o?

all that matters in this problem, is that 2 of the 13 spaces are orange. On the first spin, the odds are 11:2 against Jake getting the orange space. On the second spin, the result of the first spin has no relevance or influence at all, so the odds are still 11:2 against. Why is this question flagging up in "breakups"?
