riddle on a circle

December 21, 2019 | xi'an

The Riddler’s riddle this week provides another opportunity to resort to brute-force simulated annealing! Given a Markov chain defined on the torus {1,2,…,100} with only moves a drift to the right (modulo 100) and a uniformely random jump, find the optimal transition matrix to reach 42 in a minimum (average) number of ...
