Inspired by Alex's glorious Learn you an R for great good, we are going to humbly recreate Alex's "one true R program" -- but with a twist.
Alex-style Addition works like this -- it has a 90% chance of simply returning the sum of the two numbers given and a 10% chance of recursively Alex adding ...

This is the "function" version; it assumes a and b are already on the stack, pops them off and pushes the modified version of a+b.

I stole the algorithm from Doorknob's answer; the while loop repeats so long as the generated random number is less than 0...

Uses a similar strategy to Doorknob's CJam answer (increment number while random float is less than 0.1), except it uses integers, and increments while random integer in [0,9] is less than 1. The lack of easy recursion hurts.
Try it online (needs manual in...

This is a program prompts two numbers as input. The amount to add on to the sum of the two inputs is 0, with probability 0.9, 1 with probability 0.09, 2 with probability 0.009, etc., so if you take a sample from a uniform distribution on (0,1), take the base-10 lo...
