Default Re: simple question

what are the chances youd roll at least one 6 after 5 rolls?

1 - (31/36)^5 = 52.7%

That's 1 minus the probability of not getting a six 5 times in a row (C had 1 too many 1 minuses there [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]).

Now, if you roll until you get a 6, on which roll are you most likely to get it?
