Snakes & ladders: a short statistical analysis
Read OriginalThis article presents a statistical and computational analysis of the Snakes & Ladders board game. It models the game as a graph problem and uses Markov chain theory to algorithmically calculate the probability matrix for player transitions. The author then computes the expected number of turns to complete the game and derives a cumulative distribution function (CDF), discussing both simulation and closed-form solutions for hitting times.
