What is the easiest randomized algorithm to motivate to the layperson?
Multiplication checking: is $ab$ equal to $c$ (or is $a(x)b(x)$ equal to $c(x)$)? Analysis of randomized solution is pretty easy; also it provides a huge gap in asymptotic compared to straightforward …

Graph connectivity related game
I was considering the following game on an undirected unweighted graph $G=(V,E)$ (not necessarily simple). Two players, Police and Runaway, take moves in turn. Police can cut an arbitrary subset of ed …
