Where should the digger look next after two empty holes and a beeping detector?

Every empty hole and every signal tells the player something about where the treasure is, but a helper that forgets this digs the same places or trusts a signal too much. This shows how to keep the chances for every spot up to date after each clue.

Why this works

Every clue changes how plausible each place is, in proportion to how likely that clue would be if the treasure lay there. Multiplying by that and rescaling keeps the picture consistent, so a helper never forgets a clue and never trusts one too much.

When not to use it

Skip it when the clues are not independent of each other or the treasure can move, because the picture then goes stale. Also avoid it where the hunt is meant to be solved by the player's wit, since an exact helper removes the puzzle.
