You have two random uniform variables and the distance/difference/change between to finite points. Put another way (and code it up if you want). Select two random uniformly distrib…

Early in my career, when I first started interviewing, I used to ask a version of this to recent grads. It was never a make-or-break question, but I found it to be a great way to a…
