Lion Hunting
A highly dangerous killer lion is on the loose. All we have to try
and track down the lair of the lion are the sightings of the
remains of its activity (use your imagination here!). By building
up a series of sightings can you find the grid square in which the
lion's lair is found? Each false guess costs you 10 points, whereas
each new sighting costs you 1 point. What is the highest score you
can get?
Don't forget that you can drag the map around and zoom in/out as
required.

Now, these killer lions hunt according to a few clearly defined
hunting patterns. By observing the behaviour of several different
lions (click New hideout for a new lion) can you work
out how many different sorts of hunting activity there are? Can you
accurately describe them in terms of standard probability
distributions?
[Note: You might notice that killer lions can travel very long
distances, and sometimes even hunt in the sea. That's why they are
so dangerous.]
