Talk:Percolation/Mean run density

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)

I am no longer confused. Thanksgiving, 2013.

From the task description:

Any calculation of $R_{n}/n$ for finite $n$ is subject to randomness so should be computed as the average of $t$ runs, where $t\geq 100$.

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