They describe in some detail that very point.

Is this again about experimental math?

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.

Somewhat, it is a continuation of a 2400 year tradition from a people that wrote in the sand, chiseled in stone and no longer exist.

Interesting. Unfortunately,I didn't understand you,but doesn't prevent me from bwing fascinated.

How did you conclude the 66%?

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.

Wow,you couldn't be more vague if you tried. What exactly did you do to get the result?

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.

Re: dice probability

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

Re: dice probability

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.
