    In a theatre performance of Hamlet, Acts 2 to 5 are played in a part of the auditorium chosen at random by means of a draw. The stalls are divided into four sectors. The part of the audience with seats in the sector selected will move to another sector, taking also their chairs with them. Provided that each of the four sectors are large enough (that is, if one chooses a sector, then there will always be enough space for one's chair there) and assuming that each sector is equally likely to be chosen, what is the proportion between the probabilities that one needs to move twice during the play or only once?
