came up with a different answer than someone posted on this, what do you all think?
Say you have one bacterium now. In any minute, each living one has a quarter chance of dying, a quarter of staying still, a quarter of splitting into 2, and a quarter of splitting into 3. What is the probability of all the bacteria eventually dying out?
