Question 83

Anastasia is taking a walk in the plane, starting from $(1,0)$. Each second, if she is at $(x, y)$, she moves to one of the points $(x-1, y)$, $(x+1, y)$, $(x, y-1)$, and $(x, y+1)$, each with $\frac{1}{4}$ probability. She stops as soon as she hits a point of the form $(k, k)$. What is the probability that $k$ is divisible by $3$ when she stops?
