:* A prisoner tries to find his own number.
:* A prisoner finding his own number is then held apart from the others.
* If '''all''' 100 prisoners find their own numbers then they will all be pardoned. If ''any'' don't then ''all'' sentences stand.
;The task:
# Simulate several thousand instances of the game where the prisoners randomly open
# Simulate several thousand instances of the game where the prisoners use the optimal strategy mentioned in the
:* First opening the drawer whose outside number is his prisoner number.
:* If the card within has his number then he succeeds otherwise he opens the drawer with the same number as that of the revealed card. (until he opens his maximum).
Show and compare the computed probabilities of success for the two strategies, here, on this page.<br>

=={{header|Applesoft BASIC}}==
This is modified from the [[100_prisoners#Commodore_BASIC]] listing. Here are some noted differences between the BASICs and platforms:
* UPPER CASE, for the 1970's Apple II and Apple II+
* '''GET''' in Applesoft waits for a keypress, so ''': IF K$ = "" THEN 1110''' is not needed
* CLear Screen: '''PRINT CHR$ (147);''' on Commodore BASIC, '''HOME''' in Applesoft
* '''"{LEFT-CRSR}"''' is '''CHR$(8)''' on Apple II, but numbers printed in Applesoft don't have spaces appended to them
* but spaces need to be added in front and after numbers in Applesoft
* ; is optional for string concatenation
* Replace bare PRINT statement with '''M$''' embedded in PRINT statements to visually compact the listing
And, minor speed tweaks:
* Remove '''REM'''s, adjust line numbers, move the two compacted methods to the beginning of the program
* Rename some two character variable names to single character names: 's/DR(/D(/' 's/IG(/J(/'
* Start at 0 and go up to 99, but don't regress into off by one bugs
* Inline the shuffle subroutine and hoist it out of the methods
* Embed the results in the loop because feedback can be helpful, otherwise it looks like the program froze
Actual test of 4000 trials for each method were run on the KEGSMAC emulator with MHz set to No Limit.

=={{header|Commodore BASIC}}==
It should be noted that this is a very time consuming process for a ~1 MHz 8-bit computer. Evaluating 1000 trials of each method with the algorithm below takes about 3.5 hours on the BASIC system clock (TIME$) of a stock NTSC Commodore 64, even with screen blanking. (Screen blanking seems to achieve only a 3% improvement in speed.) Actual test of 4000 trials for each method were run on the VICE emulator with warp speed engaged, otherwise the user would have had to wait a day and a half for results.
Another concern is when the prisoner's number is found. When this happens it becomes unnecessary to use whatever guesses are remaining; we should simply move on to the next prisoner. Furthermore, if any prisoner uses all 50 guesses with no luck, then everyone is out of luck and the trial is over, which means no other prisoner needs to make the attempt.
This potentially could cause problems on the stack with unfinished guessing (or prisoner) loops, especially where stack limits are extremely small however, a few things are happening to prevent this (See [https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/NEXT C64-Wiki "NEXT: Early Exits..."] for reference.):
# The prisoner loop, and each prisoner's 50-guesses loop, are contained within a subroutine. The RETURN at the end of either subroutine terminates any unfinished loops and keeps the stack clean.
# When the NEXT belonging to loop 'i' is encountered, any inner loops ('g') are terminated.
# Similar to above, any new loop using an existing loop's variable terminates the old loop, and any nested loops within it.
The key here is avoiding the use of GOTO as a means of exiting a loop early.

ANS Forth has no in-built facility for random numbers, but libraries are available.

Here is a solution using [https://www.taygeta.com/fsl/library/ran4.seq ran4.seq]
from The Forth Scientific Library, available [https://www.taygeta.com/fsl/scilib.html here].
Run the two strategies (random and follow the card number) 10,000 times each, and show number or successes.

Don"t bother to simulate the random method: each prisoner has a probability p to win with:
<syntaxhighlight lang="maple">p:=simplify(1-product(1-1/(2*n-k),k=0..n-1));
# p=1/2</syntaxhighlight>
Since all prisoners' attempts are independent, the probability that they all win is:
<syntaxhighlight lang="maple">p^100;
evalf(%);
# 1/1267650600228229401496703205376
# 7.888609052e-31</syntaxhighlight>
Even with billions of simulations, chances are we won't find even one successful escape.
On the other hand, if they try the optimal strategy, then their success is governed by the cycle decomposition of the permutation of numbers in boxes. That is, the function f(i)=j where i is the number '''on''' the box, and j the number '''in''' the box, is a permutation of 1..100. This permutation has a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation#Cycle_notation cycle decomposition]. It's not difficult to see that all prisoners with a number in the same cycle, need the same number of attempts before finding their number, and it's the cycle length. Hence, for all prisoners to escape, the maximum cycle length must not exceed 50.
Here is a simulation based on this, assuming that the permutation of numbers in boxes is random:
<syntaxhighlight lang="maple">a:=[seq(max(GroupTheory[PermCycleType](Perm(Statistics[Shuffle]([$1..100])))),i=1..100000)]:
nops(select(n->n<=50,a))/nops(a);
evalf(%);
# 31239/100000
# 0.3123900000</syntaxhighlight>
The probability of success is now better than 30%, which is far better than the random approach.
It can be [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_permutation_statistics#One_hundred_prisoners proved] that the probability with the second strategy is in fact:
<syntaxhighlight lang="maple">1-(harmonic(100)-harmonic(50));

===Functional===
There is some inefficiency entailed in repeatedly re-calculating the fixed sequence of drawers defined by index-chasing in the optimal strategy. Parts of the same paths from drawer to drawer are followed by several different prisoners.
We can avoid redundant recalculation by first obtaining the full set of drawer-chasing cycles that are defined by the sequence of any given shuffle.
We may also notice that the collective fate of the prisoners turns on whether any of the cyclical paths formed by a given shuffle are longer than 50 items. If a shuffle produces a single over-sized cycle, then not every prisoner will be able to reach their card in 50 moves.
The computation below returns a survival failure as soon as a cycle of more than 50 items is found for any given shuffle:

Also test with 10 prisoners to verify that the logic is correct for random selection. Random selection should succeed with 10 prisoners at a probability of (1/2)**10, so in 100_000 simulations, should get pardons about .0977 percent of the time.

For checking the correctness of simulation of random selection, we can decrease the number of prisoners and increase the number of runs. Then, for 10 prisoners and 100,000 runs we should get 0.5^10 * 100,000 = about 0.1% of wins.
