Shiori places seven books, numbered from 1 to 7, on a bookshelf in some
order. Later, she discovers that she can place two dividers between the
books, separating the books into left, middle, and right sections, such that:

has at most one book. • The middle section is numbered in decreasing order
from left to right, or has at most one book. • The right section is numbered
in increasing order from left to right, or has at most one book.

Alien Connor starts at (0, 0) and walks around on the integer lattice. Specifi-
cally, he takes one step of length one in a uniformly random cardinal direction
every minute, unless his previous four steps were all in the same directionin
which case he randomly picks a new direction to step in. Every time he takes
a step, he leaves toxic air on the lattice point he just left, and the toxic cloud
remains there for 150 seconds. After taking 5 steps total, the probability
