Re: WARNING: Do NOT calculate Pi in binary
MrL, you're missunderstanding the question here.
from a throw of 200 dice (which accidentally all turned up 6's), the probability for the following results from the next 202 dice throws are:
of there being 0 or more 6's then a 5: >1/6
of there being any other dice, then 200 6's and one 5: <1/6^201
but this does not affect the average number of throws you need to throw to get 200 6's in a row and then a 5. (which is the same for the number of throws as for 201 6's)
