CMIMC 2022 Combinatorics and Computer Science Division 2 Problem 8

The CMU Kiltie Band is attempting to crash a helicopter via grappling hook. The helicopter starts parallel (angle 0 degrees) to the ground. Each time the band members pull the hook, they tilt the helicopter forward by either x or x+1 degrees, with equal probability, if the helicopter is currently at an angle x degrees with the ground. Causing the helicopter to tilt to 90 degrees or beyond will crash the helicopter. Find the expected number of times the band must pull the hook in order to crash the helicopter.
