Re: dice probability
Not really. I just formulated a gf about whether I would be able to condense it to less than 250 pages. The sum of all the coefficients of powers of x less than 250 was 1.271623 x 10^(-40).

Re: dice probability
which is 1/a where a is the anonimnystefy's constant.

Re: dice probability
Sorry, but that constant first appeared in a documentary before you were born.

Re: dice probability
10^(-40) the probability has to be less than one.

Re: dice probability
But 10^40 is anonimnystefy's constant. It is a coincidence that one is the reciprocal of the other and vice versa.

It is not a coincidence I said 10^(-40) you said 10^40.

Re: dice probability
But it is a coincidence that the constant a appeared in that probability.
