Abstract

We show that a double binomial sum identity that arises in the context of Hadamard matrices can be reduced to a convolution over a simpler binomial sum that was featured in the 1974 Putnam Mathematical Competition. The proof uses the fact that these binomial sums can be interpreted as moments of a symmetric Bernoulli random walk.
