Let T(m,p) be the value of the following game: there are m ``minus'' balls and p ``plus'' balls in an urn, for a total of n=m+p balls. You may draw balls from the urn one at a time at random and without replacement until you decide to stop drawing. Each minus ball drawn costs you $1 and each plus ball drawn gets you $1. Sequence gives triangle of numerators of T(n-p,p), 0 <= p <= n, read by rows. |

FORMULA

T(m, 0)=0, T(0, p)=p; T(m, p) = max{0, (m/(m+p))*(-1+T(m-1, p))+(p/(m+p))*(1+T(m, p-1))}.
