Limit conjecture for the stopping probabilities of a random walk

About 9 years old · traced to

Let pnp_n denote the sequence of stopping probabilities for the random walk considered in the paper. Limit conjecture.

lim⁡n→∞pn=12.\lim_{n\to\infty}p_n=\frac{1}{2}.

This is presented as the main question of the problem. The supplied text gives no resolution, so whether the stopping probabilities converge to one half remains open here.
