Ant in a circle An ant is sitting in the middle of a circle of radius 3 meters. Every minute, the ant picks a random direction and moves straight 1 meter. On average, how long does it take the ant to leave the circle? If it helps calculations, you can disregard the fact that the ant may technically leave prior to the end of the minute, in other words, if the ant is 0.5 meters from the edge of the circle and walks outwards, consider it a minute, not 30 seconds. I'm normally quite good at these types of problems, but this one seems more statistical in nature and I'm not sure how to approach it. Obviously the ant could stay in the circle forever wandering around, but it's statistically impossible, meaning the average amount of time the ant spends in the circle is a limit which converges (answer is not "infinite time"). I'd love to hear any techniques on solving this problem.

Calling $\mathbb{E}(d)$ the expected time for leaving the circle if you are at distance $d$, $\mathbb{E}(d)$ should have the following property: $$\mathbb{E}(d)=1+\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi}\mathbb{E}(\sqrt{d^2+1-2d\cos\alpha})d\alpha$$ with the constraint $\mathbb{E}(d)=0$ if $d>3$.

This formula say that the expected leaving time is 1 (the cost of doing another step) + the mean of the expected time over each point at distance 1 from the current point ($\sqrt{d^2+1-2d\cos\alpha}$ is the cosine law applied at the triangle between the origin, the current point and next point).

I don't know how to explicit solve this equation (nor if is feasible to be done), but it can be used for iteratively approximate the solution.

edit: I've tried to solve with R, seem that the solution is $\mathbb{E}(0)\simeq11.42$, and this is the plot of the approximation of the function: !enter image description here
