100 Prisoners and a Light Bulb

چکیده
We present a variety of different protocols for solving the “100 Prisoners and a Light Bulb” riddle, including explicit computations of average runtimes. This is an updated and corrected version of the original unpublished document released on December 5, 2002 at http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/. The protocols presented here can be attributed to many members of [wu::forums], an online forum of mathematical riddles at wuriddles.com. Our quest to optimize the 100 prisoners problem is never ending, and there are many clever algorithms that have yet to be incorporated in this article.
