Two thoughts: - I don't see why it's important to this person that N people start with a total of N^2 dollars. It would seem more natural to have N people and M dollars. - The piece says this: > in the long run every possible state is equally likely; we are just as likely to see $9,901 in one person’s hands and everybody else with $1 as we are to see exact equidistribution again. As stated, this is quite wrong. We're 100 times more likely to see $9,901 in one person's hands and everybody else with $1 than we are to see everybody with $100, because there are 100 different people who might have $9,901 to satisfy that description of the state. It isn't really clear whether the author understands this or not.
