This paper deals with the computation of the stationary distribution associated to a Markov chain on a tetrahedron with Dirichlet-type entries. This refines a result of \textit{J. Stoyanov} and \textit{C. Pirinsky} [Stat. Probab. Lett. 50, No. 3, 293-304 (2000; Zbl 0964.60072)]. Here, Buridan gives his donkey the choice between a greater variety of meals than just hay and water.
