Ok. I know that this isn't correct... But isn't it?
If you're having an unlimited number of rolls prior to your "real" roll, then you would be, in essence, creating a situation that has a statistically lower chance of happening.
Before you roll any dice, the chances of rolling two nat 1s are 1/400. But after you roll your first die, whatever it happened to be, your chances of rolling a nat 1 are 1/20. The chances of the entire scenario have no impact on the probability of the individual rolls
Right but the way I took the meme was that you would roll until you get a 1, then deciding the next roll is the "real" one.
brian@lemmy.ca The die doesn't know it just rolled a 1. History doesn't matter to it.
