For this special case the theorem can be stated as follows: if the game is played \\(N\\) times, the maximal average gain of a player over \\([C \\log_2 N]\\) consecutive games (\\(C \\geq 1,[x]\\) denotes the integral part of \\(x\\)), tends with probability one to the limit \\(\\alpha\\), where \\(\\alpha\\) is the only solution in the interval \\(0< \\alpha \\leq 1\\) of the equation  \\[ {1 \\over C}=1- \\left({1+ \\alpha \\over 2} \\right) \\log_2 \\left({2 \\over 1+ \\alpha} \\right) - \\left({1- \\alpha \\over 2} \\right) \\log_2 \\left({2 \\over 1- \\alpha} \\right). \\]  In \\S3 we generalize this result to an arbitrary sequence \\(\\eta_n\\) \\((n=1,2, \\ldots)\\) of independent, identically distributed random variables with expectation \\(0\\), the common distribution of which satisfies the condition, that its moment-generating function \\(\\varphi (t)=E(e^{\\eta_nt})\\) exists in an open interval around the origin. We prove that for every \\(\\alpha\\) in a certain interval \\(0< \\alpha < \\alpha_0\\) one has  \\[ P \\left(\\lim_{N \\to + \\infty} \\max_{0 \\leq n \\leq N-[C \\log N]} {\\eta_{n+1}+ \\eta_{n+2}+ \\ldots + \\eta_{n+[C \\log N]} \\over [C \\log N]}= \\alpha \\right) =1, \\tag{*} \\]  where \\(C=C(\\alpha)\\) is defined by the equation \\(e^{-(1/C)}= \\min_t \\varphi (t)e^{- \\alpha t}\\). In \\S4 we discuss the special case of Gaussian random variables, in which case our result is essentially equivalent to a previous result of \\textit{P. L\u00e9vy} about the Brownian movement process. In \\S5 we give as an application of the result of \\S3, a new proof of the theorem of \\textit{P. B\u00e1rtfai} on the ``stochastic geyser problem'', using the fact that the functional dependence between \\(C\\) and \\(\\alpha\\) in (*) determines the distribution of the variables uniquely (Theorem 3). The result of \\S2 can also be applied in probabilistic number theory; as a matter of fact it was such an application which led the first named author to raise the problem which is solved in the present paper.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2548819$5E6580A2-2CF1-4B8D-8F3F-2097B99DC76B","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"f49dd74e6cfeea81a6a51567255e1c4853afd305","datavalue":{"value":"60F15","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2548819$50441C73-3B50-4A43-B8EA-1BEBBEBA5E66","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"3b27a9dd329983c5b25a374d752bed299934c73d","datavalue":{"value":"60J65","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2548819$37FE1C19-EE8B-48EB-A4EB-522EFAA43AC1","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"1fbdd7788738699dc54676caea07888815fc6fdd","datavalue":{"value":"3357707","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2548819$057B3F10-5BDC-439A-8526-562BCAEE0154","rank":"normal"}],"P12":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P12","hash":"d4806cc810037d008d02baf20d971233af04232c","datavalue":{"value":"Q104689291","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2548819$43D1856B-BC66-4C39-BF7E-0A75A6B0540A","rank":"normal"}],"P1460":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1460","hash":"57f7fea50d2ce1b39b695c4a1313582eed405e38","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":5976449,"id":"Q5976449"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2548819$A9353407-9C6E-43E6-9777-B6FE60E46D5B","rank":"normal"}],"P223":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P223","hash":"d3fd81ae6a7eeac791b8980f523afee46bb7ca37","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":3283334,"id":"Q3283334"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2548819$4E990699-A957-46EF-9ADB-B1460FE5B8FF","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P223","hash":"b1f59f93e4df7366c4cc3e3ebca9a77a547eeca0","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":5765710,"id":"Q5765710"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2548819$63BF3109-E28C-4067-B5F4-3AD16F38A1C1","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P223","hash":"d660ec0d4830523dae3806f636309ce0457aa18f","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":5538572,"id":"Q5538572"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2548819$57347CB7-C57F-450D-AED5-2B3F1796BCD6","rank":"normal"}],"P205":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P205","hash":"d89c3e37460f90d95b3f97947c9f13ea707e7c21","datavalue":{"value":"https://doi.org/10.1007/bf02795493","type":"string"},"datatype":"url"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2548819$15FD5791-E088-455B-9070-714344DD6C49","rank":"normal"}],"P388":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P388","hash":"46553b9f927d5b67e6ee93868e58c0bb4d58982b","datavalue":{"value":"W2053013517","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2548819$855E7949-35D7-4D4D-80A1-8EAE2C42C8AA","rank":"normal"}],"P1643":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1643","hash":"35392a28f46f1ecb8be3dc4a3de7032ab42d7901","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":1123477,"id":"Q1123477"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","qualifiers":{"P1659":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1659","hash":"80f878643ceae382719e5706e892721377dab9c5","datavalue":{"value":{"amount":"+0.7918351888656616","unit":"1"},"type":"quantity"},"datatype":"quantity"}],"P1660":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1660","hash":"a327a09ea0305e98d5cf33bd4036320e19f2aed0","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":6821328,"id":"Q6821328"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"}]},"qualifiers-order":["P1659","P1660"],"id":"Q2548819$C8177ECC-0E98-4B21-9270-9151947BDDB3","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1643","hash":"dcc0c35b5015aaf37c5260ca9ff3c917c252ecf1","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":2772049,"id":"Q2772049"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","qualifiers":{"P1659":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1659","hash":"2805a4b88b06a29b5d418855fcb4dafd6c9c3f2f","datavalue":{"value":{"amount":"+0.7876607775688171","unit":"1"},"type":"quantity"},"datatype":"quantity"}],"P1660":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1660","hash":"a327a09ea0305e98d5cf33bd4036320e19f2aed0","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":6821328,"id":"Q6821328"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"}]},"qualifiers-order":["P1659","P1660"],"id":"Q2548819$33DB8990-9944-484D-BA5F-DA0677A7BE85","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1643","hash":"ba7eceb1a7685f1c350f57167df044e6f3765cd2","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":702408,"id":"Q702408"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"
