It is known that for every pair of cities AA and BB it is possible to drive from AA to BB using at most 22 roads. There are 6262 cops trying to catch a robber. The cops and robber all know each others' locations at all times. Each night, the robber can choose to stay in her current city or move to a neighbouring city via a direct road. Each day, each cop has the same choice of staying or moving, and they coordinate their actions. The robber is caught if she is in the same city as a cop at any time.
