Why might you end up dining with your girlfriend 90% of the time if you take the first subway train that arrives, given that trains to downtown and uptown run at the same intervals?

Concise Answer: The train to your girlfriend’s place in uptown must be arriving more frequently.
Detailed Explanation: If both trains run at the same intervals and you’re taking the first one that arrives without bias, theoretically, you should end up dining with both equally. If you’re ending up with your girlfriend 90% of the time, it suggests that the train to uptown arrives three times as often as the one to downtown during the times you go to the station.
