Problem

In competitions on stuffing bellies, the chances of opponents winning are the same as the masses of their bodies. Harry weighs more than Will, and Connor weighs less than Sam. It is not possible to draw in such a duel. Harry and Will take turns to compete with Connor and Sam. Which of these events is more likely: \(A = \{\)Harry will win against only Connor, and Will only against Sam\(\}\) or \(B = \{\)Harry will win only against Sam and Will only wins against Connor\(\}\)?
