On the map, the Flower City has the form of a right triangle
(see Fig.1). The length of each leg is
meters. All the streets of the city run parallel to one of the legs at a distance of
meter from each other. A river flows along the hypotenuse. From their houses that are located at points
and
, at the same time get the Cog and Tab. Each short moves to rivers according to the following rule: tosses his coin, and if the heads falls, he passes
meter parallel to the leg
to the north (up), and if tails, then passes
meter parallel to the leg
on east (right). If the Cog and the Tab meet at the same point, then they move together, tossing a coin.
a) Which is more likely: Cog and Tab will meet on the way to the river, or will they come to different points on the shore?
b) At what point near the river should the Stranger sit, if he wants the most did Gvintik and Shpuntik come to him together?
