# --description--
|
|
|
|
"The Chase" is a game played with two dice and an even number of players.
|
|
|
|
The players sit around a table; the game begins with two opposite players having one die each. On each turn, the two players with a die roll it.
|
|
|
|
If the player rolls a 1, he passes the die to his neighbour on the left.
|
|
|
|
If the player rolls a 6, he passes the die to his neighbour on the right.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, he keeps the die for the next turn.
|
|
|
|
The game ends when one player has both dice after they have been rolled and passed; that player has then lost.
|
|
|
|
In a game with 100 players, what is the expected number of turns the game lasts? Give your answer rounded to ten significant digits.
