Rolling a 1 has no effect on the outcome of the next roll

YOURE JUST NOT ROLLING THEM HARD ENOUGH.

If there is anything that you are alone in thinking, it's "thinking that you're alone in thinking of your theories".

@Orion: Ha! I made that same joke!

How did they ever lock the trope page of Lolita?

I'd think Story of all people would be quite familiar with common statistical fallacies.

I'm sure. But superstition is funny sometimes.

Superstition is not funny! A wild superstition once bit my sister!

@Cond: Ha. I didn't even notice.

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

Oh, no! Did you report the incident to the thought police?

Come on, rolling the ones out isn't that difficult.

Time-consuming, yes, but not hard.

Even ponies have sockpuppets!

Though, the logic of how they work is currently unknown...

Like I said, it's easier if you use the right kind of rolling pin.

If there is anything that you are alone in thinking, it's "thinking that you're alone in thinking of your theories".

#173187 condottiera Wed, 25th Apr '12 11:30:44 AM from Chicago

Rolling 5 ones in a row is unlikely. However, just because you've rolled 4 ones does not make the probability that you will roll a one next time any less likely. However, it's better to be safe than sorry.

I wondered what they were doing with all those socks!

Talking about dice rolls? Oh sweet Celestia. I hope Colin doesn't read this part of the thread. He's very stingy about people misunderstanding how probabilities work.

Looks like Pinkie is a lot better at sockpuppetry than Cherilee was.

I can get kind of annoyed with the guys in my D&D group about dice. They all know how probability works, but they mostly do it because it's better to be safe than sorry, as I said. I can get behind that.
