project euler problem 213

Flea Circus

This is a simple probability problem.  I lost my old code. But based on the discussion thread, I guess I used a Markov-Chain approach. This time,  it puzzled me for half an hour.  I suddenly figured out that this is similar to the "birthday problem", then it is solved. It only takes 200 ms for my new code. I then considered the symmetric property, the run time is reduce to 50 ms.
