Suppose that you are standing in the middle of a $100$ meter long bridge. You take a random sequence of steps either $1$ meter forward or $1$ meter backwards each iteration. At each step, if you are currently at meter $n$, you have a $\tfrac{n}{100}$ probability of $1$ meter forward, to meter $n+1$, and a $\tfrac{100-n}{100}$ of going $1$ meter backward, to meter $n-1$. What is the expected value of the number of steps it takes for you to step off the bridge (i.e., to get to meter $0$ or $100$)? Let $C$ be the actual answer and $A$ be the answer you will submit. Your score will be given by $\max\{0,\lceil25-25|\log_6(\tfrac{A-C/2}{C/2})|^{0.8}\rceil\}$.
