There are two towns. In one of them, about 1/6 of them are infected by a virus, while the other is free of disease. You have no idea which town is infected and which is not. But you do have a test to detect this virus in patients. It is a time consuming test, so you can only do the test twice. If a person has the virus, then the test shows positive for the virus (with probability 1). If...
