Catapult in Heroes of Might and Magic I

The catapult is a siege weapon designed to destroy castle walls. In one round, at best, it destroys one tower, and with the "Ballista" artifact, it destroys two.

With 100% certainty, it can be stated that the first shot of the catapult will hit the second or fourth tower, and the second shot will hit the fourth or second tower, respectively. After that, the catapult chooses its target randomly.

The probability of completely destroying a tower in one shot is:
- 30/151 = 19.9% for a human player;
- 45/151 = 29.8% for a computer player (cheater!).
