Пятница Январь 6 - 19:42 #10. The Rocking Soccer Prison
The jailer, Vincent, meets with 25 new managers - also known as prisoners - when they arrive. He tells them, "You may meet today and plan a strategy. But after today, you will be in isolated cells and will have no communication with one another."
"Hidden somewhere in the game is a secret switch room, which contains two light switches labeled A and B, each of which can be in either the on or the off position. I am not telling you their present positions. The switches are not connected to anything."
"After today, from time to time, whenever I feel so inclined, I will select one prisoner at random and escort him to the switch room. This prisoner will select one of the two switches and reverse its position. He must flip one switch when he visits the switch room, and may only flip one of the switches. Then he'll be led back to his cell."
"No one else will be allowed to alter the switches until I lead the next prisoner into the switch room. I'm going to choose prisoners at random. I may choose the same manager three times in a row, or I may jump around and come back. I will not touch the switches, if I wanted you dead you would already be dead."
"Given enough time, everyone will eventually visit the switch room lots of times and over a long duration the visits will be shared out evenly. At any time, anyone may declare to me, 'We have all visited the secret switch room.'"
"If it is true, then you will all be set free and may leave the game. If it is false, and somebody has not yet visited the switch room, you will all die horribly. You will be carefully monitored, and any attempt to break any of these rules will result in instant death to all of you."
What is the strategy they come up with so that they can be free?
