it matters not if the amoeba overgrows or suffocates, but the former isn't profitable..

the ΘΘΘ in the bottom-left at the start has a chance to survive; it is 1-(127/128) to the 10th power) = 7.5% ;)

aware, and even then.. in most cases you can still get out!

 dustin , since you are often pedantic about math correctness here's a correction on your formula: (** = power of)  
  
1 - (127/128) ** 4) * (126/128) ** 3)  
  
so the correct probability is closer to 7.6% than 7.5% :D

 altermaven : of course! the probability that Κ will be trapped at the start would first be much smaller and second be much harder to calculate :d  
  
 nesdori : oh yes, true! of course, if one Θ has two possibilities to grow, it's (126/128), not (127/128)**2 :d
