Re: dice probability
They describe in some detail that very point.
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
There is an even better quote by HDT, but I always misplace it.

Is this again about experimental math?

Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.
Yes an no. It is about post #17.

Re: dice probability
So you think I was able to get out of the mud that is the math taught in schools?
Btw,check your email.

Re: dice probability
How did you conclude
Conclude? You went backwards.
Ran off tens of millions of games and counted them up. Remember "back engineering?"
Unless you do then your question in post #17 has no point...
Unfortunately,I didn't understand you
I do not understand.

But thanks for the tips,anyway.

Re: dice probability
Ok,thanks for explaining. These days I haven't really be able to work on math problems much. I have a lot to study. It is the end of the school year.
I know you're not being mysterious,and that your methods are really confusing and mind-boggling sometimes. Maybe when I have more time I will ask you to explain the three.methods you used.
I remember juan's problem about singular matrices. That one gave us a hard time. I wonder where he gets those problems.

Don't worry about it. What I do have trouble with is determinating which half of the condensator should be positive and which negative.

I thought only electrolytic capacitors had positive and negative electrodes.

Re: dice probability
They are the only ones that have electrodes. As far as I know capacitors have plates.
