A 12 inch ruler is cut at two distinct integer points (not including the endpoints), chosen at random along its length. Meaning the ruler is cut at the 1, 2, 3, ... , 11 inch marks. What is the probability that the 3 pieces obtained form these two cuts form a triangle? Click the Green Flag and then the Space Bar to run 100,000 trails. x1 and x2 represent at what inch mark the first and second cuts are made respectively.
