I'm lost. Who can help me with this math problem (surprise inside)?

Asked by thorninmud (20495points) December 28th, 2015

What is the minimum number of throws of a standard pair o’ dice that it would take to open the door of the 20K mansion?

Bonus question: Why the heck am I asking this?

From what I can gather, it’s merely a question of time. But here’s a GQ to cheer you on the march. The bonus answer: you’re bored.

I’m lost, but never mind, congrats to @Lostinparadise wherever they may be right now, maybe a coffee plantation in Honduras or a mango grove in Costa Rica. Cheers…20,000 pieces of tropical fruit for you.

Congratulations to a genuine lynchpin of this place. The groan inducing pun distracted me from the realization that this is your party. Kudos on your endurance!

“Pair o’ dice” (groan) I got it eventually.

Hey @LostInParadise ! Congrats on the well deserved 20k! Welcome to the 0.3% club!
What are the odds of that?

longgone's avatar

Congrats! Keep asking your questions, please. I don’t always have an answer, but you can be sure I’m lurking!

LostInParadise's avatar

Thanks all! I am blushing ear to ear. It is the love that counts more than the lurve, but it is nice to have some measure of the time I have spent here.

janbb's avatar

@LostInParadise Can you draw us a Venn diagram of love and lurve and calculate the probability of lurve points for the above answer?

dxs's avatar

|lurve_Lostinparadise| = 2×10^4 ∃!(Congratulations) ∈ dxs
