The chances of Picard surviving are = 0.16
We ran this a few times and saw survival chances ranging from 9 to 16%.

disp(['The chances of Picard surviving are = ',...
num2str(c/100)])
The chances of Picard surviving are = 0.17
This time the numbers were between 10 and 18%. Let's keep moving him
toward the periphery.
