Hi, friends!

I'm not a math =) but it is interesting

How can i solve this equation like the gambler's ruin with Maple's function rsolve

f(n)=0.5*f(n-1)+0.5*f(n+1), f(0)=1, f(6)=0

rsolve({f(n)=0.5*f(n-1)+0.5*f(n+1), f(0)=1, f(6)=0}, {f});

it returns this 

{f(n) = 7 f(5) - f(5) (n + 1)}

I don't understand :( 

for example Wolfram Alpha return the true result
