Question 21

Charlotte the spider is walking along a web shaped like a $5$-pointed star, shown in the figure below. The web has $5$ outer points and $5$ inner points. Each time Charlotte reaches a point, she randomly chooses a neighboring point and moves to that point. Charlotte starts at one of the outer points and makes $3$ moves (re-visiting points is allowed). What is the probability she is now at one of the outer points of the star?
