Using sample() and cumsum() to simulate a random walk
Using %% (modulo operator) to "close" the circle (set the number of people in the circle)
Using crossing function to set up "tidy" simulation (gives you all possible combinations of values you provide it)
Using distinct function and its .keep_all argument to get only the first unique set of the variables you give it
Visualizing the number of steps it takes for the sauce to reach people at differents seats
Visualizing the distribution of number of steps it takes to reach each seat
Investigating the parabolic shape of average number of steps to reach a given seat
