A scaled random walk on the number line
An agent $A$ is performing a random walk on the number line. Let $X_t$ be his position at time $t$. $X_{t+1}$ is calculated according to the following rules:-
$ X_{t+1} =$

Asymptotic behavior of a random geometric sum
Let $S_n$ denote a simple random walk with i.i.d. increments $X_i$ such that $P(X_1 = 0) = P(X_1=1) = 1/2$, i.e. $$S_0 = 0, \ S_n = X_1 + \dots + X_n.$$
The behavior of $S_n$ as $n \to \infty$ is ...
