I love the dice animation! Even if it’s length means I have no chance of ever completing. I wonder if anyone will ever complete this without hacking.

It’s been a while since I dusted off my statistics textbook, so I thought I’d do a proper analysis. The final results:

– The median number of turns before winning is 8995
– The expected number of turns before winning is even higher, 12930.2.
– The probability of winning if you keep at it long enough is 100%! (Statistical model does not include actuarial tables.)

I include lots of plots and explaination in a jupyter notebook which can be run on [colab][1] or downloaded from [github][2]

Thanks for the implementation!
