Figure 2 shows a diagram of routes to a factory. There are four road junctions labelled $\D A, B, C$ and $\D D$ and four towns labelled $\D W, X, Y$ and $\D Z.$ Mr Driver is approaching junction $\D A$ from Town $\D W,$ as shown, when he realises that he does not know how to get to the factory. He decides that at each road junction he will choose a road to take at random, but he will not turn around and go back along the road he has just travelled.
