My first intuition was that Sleeping Beauty should guess ½.The probability of the coin landing on heads or tails—regardless of the rest of the experiment—is always 50 percent.

Hilbert published a report in 1902 summarizing 23 problems (PDF file), in which he states, ... making it extremely difficult to evaluate the probability, ...

The probability of getting values very far from the mean is larger with a t-distribution than a normal distribution. Normal vs. t-distribution. Limitations of Using a T-Distribution ...
