Question 13
The beaver translates between languages A,B,C,D with the accuracy values in this table, each between 0 and 1. Larger means better.
The accuracy of an indirect translation is the product of its step accuracies. For example C→A directly has accuracy 0.2, while C→B→A gives 0.5 × 0.9=0.45, which is better. What is the greatest possible accuracy from B to C, directly or indirectly?
