论文摘要
“没有两个彩虹是相同的。两包都不是两包。享受奇怪的混合！”。使用空间随机步行的解释，我们量化了两个随机选择的Skittles Candy包装相同的概率，并确定必须购买的预期包装数量直到第一次匹配。我们认为，这个问题吸引了中学生以及大学的本科生。
"No two rainbows are the same. Neither are two packs of Skittles. Enjoy an odd mix!". Using an interpretation via spatial random walks, we quantify the probability that two randomly selected packs of Skittles candy are identical and determine the expected number of packs one has to purchase until the first match. We believe this problem to be appealing for middle and high school students as well as undergraduate students at University.
