At least, they seem to match the numbers from the Monte Carlo method (and
should be more accurate, especially on the lower and higher ranges of the
curve).
Sweet! Thanks for that. Good to see that they add up!
One nitpick with chaviro's tables, using the 1 die, 0 success entry as an example. To be pedantically correct, should be either "33.33%" or just "0.3333" without the % sign.
Chaviro's is right that his math will give you more accurate numbers. And more quickly as well! And with fewer bugs!
