Question 88

It's a week before Thanksgiving, and a family is trying to find their turkey. There are 5 boxes in a row, and the turkey is hiding in one of the 5 boxes.

Every day, the family is allowed to check one box to try to find the turkey, and every night, the turkey moves to a box right next to the box it was in. For example, from box 3 it could move to box 2 or 4, and from box 5 it must move to box 4. Determine a strategy for the family to catch the turkey before Thanksgiving.
