 The otter is able to escape like this because each of the holes in her network is connected via underground tunnels to several other holes.  This labyrinth of tunnels is structured as follows:
-- <u>ONE</u> of the holes in the otter's network is connected by tunnels to exactly <u>THREE</u> other holes.
+- One of the holes in the otter's network is connected by tunnels to exactly <u>THREE</u> other holes.
-- The other <u>ELEVEN</u> holes in the otter's network are each connected by tunnels to exactly <u>FOUR</u> other holes.
+- The other eleven holes in the otter's network are each connected by tunnels to exactly <u>FOUR</u> other holes.
 So for most holes, the otter has four escape routes.  But for one hole, there are only three escape routes.

 Otters and their networks can be found pretty much anywhere in Egypt.  If you come across an empty otter hole, then there should be another eleven holes nearby -- and one otter.
