I was intrigued enough with this problem that I started working on trying to find the probabilities for landing on the different squares with all of the rules taken into account. I first wrote a C program that simulates a single person rolling the dice and moving around the board a great number of times. I discovered that it is really necessary to model two different strategies. In the process of figuring all of this out I ran into an interesting difficulty.
