I took the challenge to be to find out which starting position would have the most chance of landing in space 2 (where the alteryx tree is). It turns out that the first starting position gives you the most chance of landing on 2.

Struggled with this one. A lot. Tried many different methodologies on my own, then essentially had to refer to other solves. This method makes the most sense to me. Mad respect for anyone who pulled this off without help.

If I wouldn't have had the community to gain some insight on how to begin this problem, I'm not sure how things would have progressed. It was fascinating to see all of the different solutions and I went the route of creating an iterative macro!
