Problem Statement

Alice lives on a continent with 66 countries labeled 11 through 66. Each country randomly chooses one other country to allow entry from. Alice can travel to any country that allows entry from the country she is currently in, and can travel along a path through multiple countries in this manner. If Alice starts in county 11, what is the expected number of countries that she can reach (including country 11)?
