Maze (Posted on 2002-06-26) Difficulty: 3 of 5
You're trapped in a maze. There is a way out. Path junctions are all 3-way.

If you use the strategy of always taking the path going right, what will happen?

(Note: This problem is deliberarely vague.)

Some Thoughts re: About the | Comment 26 of 54 |
(In reply to About the "official" solution by TomM)

well this is a matter of language, if your definition of negligible is
"equal to 0" then of course the term is never negligible. my use
of the language simply suggested that the term is small enough
to not include it in the verbal form of the solution (ie you have equal chance)

regarding your approach to the solution, the point in this problem
was precisely to require sufficient level of abstraction to reach a conclusion.. seemed like an interesting idea anyway
