A quick script to try the 100 prisoner riddle experiment yourself.

Proof for the 100 Prisoner Riddle

Based on Veritasium's video

Usage

git clone https://github.com/kylemilloy/prisoner-riddle

cd prisoner-riddle
npm install
npm start

You may modify the experiment's parameters by passing different values in the command-line such as:

• --choices: The number of choices each prisoner gets to select their number
• --prisoners: The number of prisoners in the experiment
• --iterations: The number of times to run the experiment

Some examples of this usage are:

npm start --choices=99
npm start --choices=2 --prisoners=1
npm start --iterations=10000
npm start --iterations=10 --choices=10 --prisoners=25
