I don't understand the question. Surely the answer depends which order you withdraw balls in? Is the idea that you blindly withdraw a ball at every step, and you are asking for the expected value of each number of ball at the end of the process?

Seems like quite a difficult question to compute exactly.

I reworded the question to make it clearer and then it was able to simulate a bunch of scenarios as a monte carlo simulation. Was your hope to calculate it exactly with dynamic programming? GPT-4 was not able to do this, but I suspect neither could a lot of your interns.

These are very good questions that anyone with the ability to reason would ask if given this problem.
