This website is dedicated to exploring the intriguing 100 prisoners problem, a mathematical
|
|
challenge that seems astronomically impossible at first, yet can leverage mathematics to
|
|
raise the chances one hundred octillion.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This thought experiment presents a scenario in which a group of 100 prisoners are tasked
|
|
with finding their own numbered slip among a collection of 100 boxes, each containing a
|
|
random permutation of the numbers 1 through 100.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Each prisoner is allowed to open 50 boxes.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Each prisoner must find their own number within a box, or they fail.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
All prisoners must be successful - if even one fails, they all lose.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Prisoners cannot mark, relay or in any way communicate with each other.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Given the premise, the lack of options, and the incredibly tiny odds, one would presume
|
|
this challenge to be impossible - but it turns out there is a strategy that guarantees a
|
|
<b> 31%</b> chance of success!
