Sorry, proof was right, but method for calculation was confusing
-
Hah! It’s exactly right!
-
Tricky enough as it is—here is my first cut
-
We are not limited to convex figures, right?
-
Mixed strategies for you and for me

-
Amazing!
-
Is it possible that the needles are actually...
-
Rodocmac, thank you, but I’ll pass. I’ve posted “oops” enough for now :-)

Thanks, rodocmac Ants on octahedron Once again attempting to count unique permutations

Cute, Bonanova! Good solve Molly Mae!

Please disregard this post. I now understand that 50/50 does not mean probability 1.
-
Rocdocmac, we are clearly well matched: I had a misenumeration and a miscount, and I’ll raise you my typographical error.

Oops can’t count

Ants on cube Now I see it would be easier if I counted permutations.

Shortest set of lines in a square, revisited

Nice job, Plasmid -
Plasmid, that’s an impressively simple solution to all the n=3 mazes! Of course, the 5x5 solution is impressive, too! Harey, this is a very interesting puzzle.

tetrahedron: success only if no two ants arrive at same cell
-
Woops, I did not consider the possibility of two ants arriving at the same vertex through different paths...
-
(a) and (b), haven't done (c) yet: I assume a trial consists of all ants moving from one vertex to one other vertex. (In other words, we aren't asked about the probability of them never colliding, no matter how far they wander)). icosagon tetrahedron

interesting question.

Here’s a degenerate answer

Ok, Another try: -
Kay_Kay, I don’t follow the argument.
