Every teacher should make effort to motivate students for further studying. I have made good experience with using untypical examples and paradoxes. In this article we can show some paradoxical situation associated with discrete uniform distribution. Uniform distribution is very simple and its properties are describe in all the textbook on probability. However, in some examples and situations we can see non-correct process or surprising statements.
