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?

Exactly. That's why I said that the best we can say is that the chances are O/P where O is the number of outside pieces, and P is the total number of pieces, but we have no idea what either number actually is.

Your analysis refines the chances of the right-hand wall being part of an outside piece, where I simply assumed that all pieces had an equal likelihood of owning that wall.

I can only figure that Charadenine assumed that there are no inside pieces when (s)he posed the question.
