Problem #262
Jumping Frogs
A circular array consists of 7 points such that the distance between any two neighboring points along the circumference is 1 unit distance. Two frogs are currently lying on the array.
Every second, each frog jumps to one of the adjacent points, with equal probability. Let f(x) be the expected time after which both the frogs occupy the same position in the array if initially, they were x unit distance apart.
You are required to find the value of f(1)\cdot f(2)\cdot f(3).
