What are the odds [Answered]

Postby The1exile on Fri Jun 22, 2007 12:40 pm

What are the odds of losing 10 rolls in a row?

Seriously, if it happens again I'm going to shoot something.

I'm not sure what the odds are, but we seem to have the same luck. I've had 3 turns in a game and took out only 1 enemy army while using up every single attack I could make. Luckily its a triples game and not a terminator.

against 2 dice, it is 0.002143511142263743, or about one fifth of one percent

Edit: whoops that number is losing 10 men instead of 10 rolls, square that number and you will get the probability os losing 20 men in a row or 10 rolls in a row

Losing 10 3v2's in a row is actually 0.00046%. I'm not sure why Cronus' figure is so high.

whoops you are correct, mine is losing 10 men instead of 10 rolls, if you square my answer, you get yours

I get a probability of 0.000004594640017008817. which is 0.0004594640017008817%

Yes I believe that is right, although my calculator differs very slightly. You are using the Dice Analyzer figures I presume?

OK, so I'm not likely to get it again for another few months, thanks for the answers.
