Asiru, Muniru Aderemi
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v33 n5 p769-772 Sep 2002
The method for geometric transforms (probability generating functions) is used to study the expected number of observations until the pattern 123123 . . . 123 is obtained. These results provide a first generalization of similar problems considered by other authors. (Contains 1 figure.)
