The Trouble of Bowling Turkeys

When Bowling, if your chances of getting a strike decreases with every strike, on average how many tries will it take to bowl three strikes in a row (a Turkey)? To solve this problem, we'll explore a mathematical technique I like to call the probability of states. This technique opens up a wide range of probability problems and will eventually take us to an introduction to Markov Chains, one of probabilities most useful tools.
