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.)

I DOUBT THAT THISIS RIGHT
but you can look anyways

the maze can be thought of as a TREE with THREE CHILDREN

picture of tree here

probability of right hand side being the end
= 1/number of end junctions

1/3 chance with 1 junction
1/27 with 1 junction and 3 children
...
you probably wont get out.
