What if the lady bug doesn’t like the number 6? How would this affect the results. Also consider the ladybug can’t ready and doesn’t understand clocks and therefore can never know where or if there is a six

this is just a markov chain modeled with a bistochastic matrix hence giving a uniform limit probability right?

Another great example of how exploiting symmetry allows for clever solutions

What if ladybug just oscillates between two numbers say 3 and 4? what will be the probability of that?
So The proper question will be somewhat like this: What is the probability of the ladybug oscillating between 'n' and 'n+1 '?

i dont know about 1 or 11, becuase they have 50% of being choosed at the start

this intuitively feels like doing some sort of probability factorial

I thought 1/11 was the intuitive answer but had no way to prove it. It felt clear that if the moves are truly random each number has an equal chance...

I think the original problem video showed it going down to the left then going all the way back past 12 to get to 6. That was a well laid hint

nah but bc of gravity it goes to 6

I think anyone that finds it counter intuitive did so because they expected a finite and small number of steps to the simulation. Graphing the probability as a function of number of steps would be interesting

The key point that makes them all equally likely to be the ending spot is that there was no specifies number of steps at before the experiment started. Just that they all had to colored. This ensured they was plenty of steps to ensure it was virtually random

My aha moment was realizing that in EVERY case the final number was just one away from being landed on and then the lady bug went completely around the clock to the other side of it.
