Suppose the bee starts at the point and the die is rolled four times. What is the probability that the bee traverses four distinct edges of some unit cube?
Problem 25
The figure below shows a dotted grid cells wide and cells tall consisting of squares. Carl places -inch toothpicks along some of the sides of the squares to create a closed loop that does not intersect itself.
