The group agrees upon the following rules:<BR/><BR/>The leader is the only person who will announce that everyone has visited the switch room. All the prisoners except for the leader will flip the first switch up when possible, but only for their first two visits to the room. If the first switch is already up, or they have already flipped the first switch twice, they will then on flip the second switch. Only the leader may flip the first switch down, and if the first switch is already down, then the leader will flip the second switch. The leader remembers how many times he has flipped the first switch down. Once the leader has flipped the first switch down 44 times, he announces that all have visited the room. It does not matter how many times a prisoner has visited the room, in which order the prisoners were sent or even if the switch was flipped up by the warden. In the example of three prisoners, the leader must flip the first switch down four times to be sure all prisoners have visited the room.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153935609499338685noreply@blogger.com
