Re: Another theatre line problem
I've no idea how to 'do it' exactly, so I tried a little simulation in Excel. Just thought it'd be interesting to compare my results with the numbers the mathematicians are coming up with.
Using a million simulations (actually, twenty simulations, each of fifty thousand queues) I got an average visible patrons of 2.928935.
Yeah, I know - small sample size.
Thanks to OP - interesting puzzle.
