I hope you could help me with this problem...
The game goes this way:
There are 6 players, numbered 1 to 6.
Player 1 starts the game, he rolls a die with six faces. If the result (x) of rolling the die is 1 then Player 1 wins. Else the player number x starts his turn. The game goes on and the Player x rolls the die, if the result (y) is equal to x then Player x win, else it's the turn of Player y. And so on.
I thin the probability of the Player 1 to win is 27. But the question is: If player one has won, wich is the expected number of times he thrown the dice?
I try to do this:
pn = probability that player 1 wins on the n round.
p1=1/6
p2=0
p3=56×16×16
If I have a general formula for pn I would sum n×pn for all value of n and I have the expected number of rounds. But I can't find this pn.
Thank you so much!!!
