It is probably too late, but please be more specific. What are you interested in; the transition matrix of a discrete random walk? The distribution after n steps? ...

One reason posts do not get a response is the the question is too vague, or general.

First trick I learned this one a long time ago and have used it to entertain and amuse young kids. Ask your friend to write down a three-digit number without showing it to you. Then ask him or her to rearrange the digits to form a new three-digit number. After that, write whichever is the larger number above the other number, and then subtract the smaller from the larger, making sure that you don't see any of the numbers. Then ask the young "victim" to tell you any two of the digits of the...
