From the task description:

:Any calculation of <math>R_n / n</math> for finite <math>n</math> is subject to randomness so should be computed as the average of <math>t</math> runs, where <math>t \ge 100</math>.

In my opinion, this does not really make sense. The result depends only on the product of of <math>t</math> and of <math>n</math>. Therefore you don't need <math>t</math> at all. You actually want to show that the simulation with a small <math>n</math> deviates from the theoretical value. With a large <math>t</math> it doesn't do that anymore.

The description confuses me considerably.

"...vector of length $ n $ be $ R_n $. The following vector has $ R_{10} = 3 $"

People who have written code interpret ${10}$ as a pattern. I blindly followed their lead. --LambertDW 23:22, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Lambert, It is hard to read your statement as the formatting may be showing rather than the formatted result? --Paddy3118 (talk) 16:55, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
