Have you ever wondered just how quickly the chances of success add up if you can make a check repeatedly without consequence? This post looks at #d20 #checks and how the #probability ramps up, and uses this to make suggestions for applying them at your #DnD or #TTRPG table.

Why You Can Calculate Pi by Dropping Needles on Paper

How to approximate pi using nothing but needles, paper, and basic probability. A centuries-old mathematical trick reveals where pi hides.

The Daily Perspective
@Lana With an electorate of 15,135 voters, and assuming toss up conditions, the chance of a single vote decision is 0.065%. Use the BINOMDIST spreadsheet function to play around with the chances of single vote decisions with respect to electorate size. It diminishes as the electorate size increases, but especially as you move away from toss-up conditions (with any given voter being slightly more or less likely to vote for a candidate than not). #math #probability #elections
And since I am a true #conspirator, which means that I consider as many things as I can that seem plausible at some reasonable #probability like 1 in 10 is enough to be dangerous. 1 in 10 says he will create the #attack through channels. Probably the #IDF will set it up, but it won't be them.
