heh.

if my question is "will this next roll be the last digit of 1111"

obviously things that have occurred before have an effect. if my last three rolls weren't all ones, i have 0 chance, if they were all ones, i have a 50-50 chance.

i'm not going to contend that 'i understand probability'

i'm just going to give everyone ample oppurtunity to find a flaw in my arguments, and watch that not happen.
