Mr. Hadd E. Nuff wants to leave the museum, but he has become flustered. He is wandering from room to room at random; he is as likely to leave a room by any one door as by any other door. However, when he reaches Room F, he can see the exit, and thus he will definitely go that way and not return. Find the transition matrix for the path taken by Mr. Nuff; use one state for each room and one for "out of the area."
