Re: Twelve times 6

I ran some simulations to find the real answer. It turns out that the probability of capping some column in 6-7-8 is about 35% . Basically I ran millions of "first turns". If it's impossible for the bot to get on 6-7-8, the turn is ignored. When it gets on 6-7-8, it keeps rolling until it ...

Re: Twelve times 6

Is it possible that they have fixed something in random and it is no longer possible to run in 6,7,8? If you mean impossible to finish one of those columns in a single turn, then that would be very surprising IMHO and then I would suspect a very weird bug. When on 6-7-8, you can calculate the proba...

It's not 12 6s, it's 4 6s!

Then there are 3 ways to split those 4 6s in 2 pairs:
6,6 / 6,6
6,6 / 6,6
6,6 / 6,6

This is where the 12 6s you see come from.

The odds of getting that are 1/6^4 ~ 0.077%
