In A Galaxy Far, Far Ago
Lurk Skywalter is exploring the planet Tantoone with his robot friend, WD-40, when he sees a figure off in the distance. He forgot his glasses, though, so he is not sure whether the figure he sees is a swamp rat or his good friend, Hans Sorbo (the captain of the famous spaceship Millionaire Falcon).
Lurk has a simplified worldview, wherein the world consists of five discrete locations, numbered as shown below:
Over the years, Lurk has built up a detailed model of how swamp rats and Hans move through the world:
-
Every minute, Hans has a probability 0.4 of moving one cell to the left, and a probability 0.6 of moving one cell to the right.
-
Every minute, a swamp rat has equal probability of moving to any cell, regardless of where it started.
At 12:01pm, Lurk knows with 100% certainty that the figure is in location 2. He thinks the figure looks only a little bit like a human, so he decides that, with probability 0.25, the figure is Hans; and with probability 0.75, the figure is a swamp rat.
At 12:02pm, after the figure has moved, Lurk knows with 100% certainty that it is in some location n.
