Episode 07: Transformations to unusual size and a start on Simon

Summary:

Preface: Conway's Doomsday method for determining the day of the week. After a quick exploration of random walks in the real world, we talk about how variable transformation can give rise to power-law size distributions, worry about random teleportation in the universe, and set off on our investigation of Herbert Simon's rich-get-richer model.
