The Prisoner Problem--A Generalization.
Gannon, Gerald E.; Martelli, Mario U.
Mathematics Teacher, v93 n3 p192-93 Mar 2000
Presents a generalization to the classic prisoner problem, which is inherently interesting and has a solution within the reach of most high school mathematics students. Suggests the problem as a way to emphasize to students the final step in a problem-solver's tool kit, considering possible generalizations when a particular problem has been solved. (KHR)
