Workshop 3 : Mathematics Problems worth Coding 1:45pm to 3:15pm Partial Approval - Free

Suppose you have 6 empty cups. Now roll a die, if the cup corresponding to the number on the die is empty, place a chocolate beanie in the cup. If it already contains a chocolate beanie, eat it! Seem simple? How many times would you expect to roll the die before all the cups contain a beanie (at the same time)? This and other delightful mathematics problems will be explored in Mathematics Problems worth Coding. Little or no prior coding experience is necessary.
