1. Start as prisoner 1 and open boxes using any strategy you like. How many tries did it take for you to find your own number?
2. Play through the game as prisoners 1 through 10, opening the boxes at random for each prisoner (use the reset button between turns). How many reshuffles did you have to use before you won the game/gave up?
3. Open boxes using the "pointing" method (e.g. prisoner 1 opens box 1, then opens the box of the number contained in box 1, etc). How many reshuffles did you have to use before you won the game?
