This is a recreation of the 100 Prisoner Problem. Take a chosen number of prisoners, each numbered 1-100, and 100 boxes each containing a random number. If a prisoner opens a box and finds their own number on the paper inside they are set free. Prisoners can only open up 50 boxes max.

The prisoners start by opening the box of their own number, first prisoner in line starts at box number 1; second prisoner starts at box 2. They then move on to the box directed to by the number written inside each box. Can all the prisoners find their own number inside a box and be set free? According to the research the chance can be over 30%.
