This is inspired by the Veritasium's video. This is just a visual 'simulator' to you test for yourself any strategy you want.
- click on a prisoner on the line to enter him into the room;
- click on a box to open it;
- if the number inside the box is the same of the prisoner, he will leave the room and all the boxes will be closed;
- if the boxes opened reach the maximum limit, the prisoner will leave the room and all the boxes will be closed.
- 100 prisoners numbered 1-100
- Slips with their numbers are randomly placed un 100 boxes in a room
- Each prisoner may enter the room one at a time and check 50 boxes
- They must leave the room exactly as they found it and can't communicate with the others after
- If all 100 prisoners find their number during their turn in the room they will all be freed. but if even on fails, they will all be executed
- What is their best strategy?
