* Thus you will never be in some other loop. Loops are disjoint. Disjoint circles, not train tracks that interconnect. Just loops. Think about that and realize it.
* This strategy guarantees you'll be in your loop. ("Unfortunately" you'll be at the end of that loop: the box that points to your number. But still, in the loop, which is the point).
* Thus if there are multiple loops, all of length 50 or less, you'll get your number before your number is up.
* And math shows that if there are 100 nodes in a randomly unidirected graph, 30% of them contain no loops greater than length 50.
So if everyone follows this strategy, 30% chance they'll win.
