locker_simulation_test()
  MATLAB/Octave version 6.4.0
  Test several strategies for the locker puzzle.

strategy1_test():
  Each player simply opens lockers at random.
  They may even open some lockers several times.

  Number of lockers was 100
  Number of players was 100
  Number of lockers a player can check 50
  Number of trials was 1000

  Success rate = number of players who found wallet / number of players.

  Minimum  = 0.25
  Maximum  = 0.55
  Mean     = 0.39643
  Variance = 0.00230986

  All players found their wallets 0 times out of 1000

strategy2_test():
  Each player opens lockers based on a random list.
  However, this list has no duplicates.

  Number of lockers was 100
  Number of players was 100
  Number of lockers a player can check 50
  Number of trials was 1000

  Success rate = number of players who found wallet / number of players.

  Minimum  = 0.35
  Maximum  = 0.66
  Mean     = 0.50326
  Variance = 0.00234872

  All players found their wallets 0 times out of 1000

strategy3_test():
  Each player starts at their own locker.
  Next try the locker corresponding to the wallet they found.

  Number of lockers was 100
  Number of players was 100
  Number of lockers a player can check 50
  Number of trials was 1000

  Success rate = number of players who found wallet / number of players.

  Minimum  = 0
  Maximum  = 1
  Mean     = 0.51005
  Variance = 0.130428

  All players found their wallets 326 times out of 1000

strategy4_test():
  Each player starts at a random locker.
  Next try the locker corresponding to the wallet they found.

  Number of lockers was 100
  Number of players was 100
  Number of lockers a player can check 50
  Number of trials was 1000

  Success rate = number of players who found wallet / number of players.

  Minimum  = 0.13
  Maximum  = 0.63
  Mean     = 0.38281
  Variance = 0.00703564
