-<​note ​warning>Two different real numbers are in a basket but we don't have access to their values. Pick at random one of them in the basket with equal probabilities and see its value. The question is to find a decision process which allows you to indicate, with a probability strictly larger than $1/2$, which one is the largest . </​note>​+<​note ​tip>Two different real numbers are in a basket but we don't have access to their values.

 <hidden Answer> $ \newcommand{\rset}{\mathbb R} \newcommand{\PP}{\mathbb P}$ Denote by $X$ the chosen real number that you have in your hand. Let $\alpha: \rset \to (0,1)$ be a (strictly) increasing measurable function. With a probability $\alpha(X)$,​ say that the largest real number is the one in your hand and otherwise say that this is the one in the basket. <hidden Answer> $ \newcommand{\rset}{\mathbb R} \newcommand{\PP}{\mathbb P}$ Denote by $X$ the chosen real number that you have in your hand.
