A ladybug is walking at random on a hexagon. She starts at vertex A.Every minute, she moves to one of the two vertices (chosen at random) adjacent to the one she's currently on. What is the probability that, after 10 minutes, she is back at A?
+2401 There are 3 cases to work out.
RRRRRRRRLL (right and left) in some combination and LLLLLLLLRR (left and right) in and LLLLLRRRRR.
2*10C2 + 10C5
2*45 + 252 = 342
I hope that's right. :)

Edit:
It asked for probability, not number of ways, I also missed one of the cases from before.
2^10 is that total number of ways.
342/1024 = 171/512
