The Potts-$q$ model on a random surface can be represented by a random matrix model. It was found recently that the equations of motions can be written in a closed form: a functional equation for the resolvent and the free energy. This equation can be solved exactly and analytically (provided some analyticity assumptions) for any value of $q$. In particular, for the ``rational models'' such that $\sqrt{q} = 2\cos{{s\over r}\pi}$, the resolvent satisfies an algebraic equation of degree $r-1$, (this generalizes the previously known cases of $q=1, 2, 3$ for the Potts-$q$ model on a random lattice). However, the solution holds for any $q$, and could be extended to $q>4$...
