a computer game level has a floor where if you step on a wrong tile you die, tiy can only go forward, the floor has 4 hexagons, 5 hexagons, 5 hexagons then 4 hexagons all laid out like this:

oooo
o o o o f
s o o o o
o o o o

the start and finish are the f and s, they also count as a tile

1.when at the start how many moves can i make?

when on the start tile or "s" i can only make 2 moves in from the tile that are safe

2.describe the possibility that i could die using.

1words
2as a fraction
3 as a decimal
4 as a percentage

i am now here large o is me

oooo
o o o o f
s o o o o
0 o o o

3. to avoid disaster where should i move?

4.and why.

okay i just died i have to start again and i have already made 2 safe moves.

from my latest position there a 3 safe moves that i can make including the move back to the tile i just came from

i5.f i chose at random what is the probability i will choose a safe tile??

6.beside the tile i just came from what is the probability i will choose a safe tile?

i just made a safe move but now i cant make anymore.

7.describe the probability as a decimal.

8.if there were 3 new tiles that i could step on how many of those would be safe?

i managed to make it to the tile immediatley before the finish. excluding the tile i just movd from, i now have a 33% of moving to a safe tile.

9.explain using probability to explain why i am on tile 3
 
Do you ever give up? This is about the 7th time I've seen this post. No one is responding. And do you know why? You can't explain a picture. And the links you posted earlier were no good because you have to have a photobucket account to view them. I was going to help, but I couldn't see the pictures and I sure can't understand what you're describing.
