Re: Game at local bar
OK... if you have to stand pat once you get a 6,5,4...
you will score 11 or better only 5.4967% of the time, so with 4 players to roll you are about a 4 to 1 favorite.
The solution was lengthy...
Here's some of the numbers I used...
rolling 5 dice...
7776 possible combinations
3125 contain no 6
2101 contain a 6 but no 5
1320 contain a 6,5 but no 4
1230 contain 6,5,4 but only 50 of these score 11 or 12
rolling 4 dice (after getting a 6)
1296 possible combinations
625 contain no 5
369 contain a 5 but no 4
302 contain 5,4 but only 24 score an 11 or 12
rolling 3 dice
216 possible combinations
125 contain no 4
91 contain a 4 but only 9 score an 11 or 12
