once the results of the testing have been compiled, the algorithm will be released.
due to some unfortunate incidents involving gerbils being lost along the way testing is taking a little longer than expected.
Also, RevdKathy is looking suspiciously full after Sunday roast.
I wonder what exactly she roasted and whether we can stop looking for the missing gerbils.

Wikipedia explains drunken gerbils and drunken monitors:
Imagine now a drunkard walking randomly in a city. The city is realistically infinite and arranged in a square grid, and at every intersection, the drunkard chooses one of the four possible routes (including the one he came from) with equal probability. Formally, this is a random walk on the set of all points in the plane with integer coordinates. Will the drunkard ever get back to his home from the bar? It turns out that he will.

PS. And I thought I could get some work done, before you posted that link to Wikipedia...

Ah...
I don't see why we need to complicate the issue so much. I'd say we cross breed gerbils with lemmings and keep those that exhibits the required traits.
ps: If they acquire green hairs, these can be dyed.
pps: I'm all for losing the blue robes.

Not much meat on a gerbil for roasting. Well, not unless you've kept it on a diet of watermelon and vodka for several months.
The alternative is to direct your gerbils by persuasion rather than herding. This works quite well with nursing ewes: pick up the lamb and walk, and the ewe will follow without any trouble at all. No herding needed.
(And Sunday roast was beef, so there).

I assumed any means of controlling gerbil movement would fall under herding, but I might be mistaken.
Come to think of it. What the heck is a gerbil?
