Predicting average duration till success for rolls at fixed intervals with increasing chances.

23 Views Asked by At

This is for a game, where a research project has an increasing probability of finishing, which is challenged at regular intervals.

A project has a maximum duration. Every 12 minutes we roll a number between zero and the remaining duration. If that number is smaller than a specific static value, the project finishes.

I'd like to inform the player of the expected average duration, but I have no idea where to start and failed to find similar examples. Any help would be appreciated.
