I realized, a few years back, that it is often possible to “cheat” in combinatorial probability problems by writing up a judiciously structured Markov chain (in a scientific programming language such as Octave).

Math thought of the day
To answer people that have doubts about 0.9999… and 1 being the same, I would follow the path of Dedekind: first propose a pair of metaphorical scissors, and then challenge them to cut in between.

The choice of 2d6 vs 1d12: an endless debate in gaming circles (think D&D). How to get the highest result/score/damage, statistically speaking?
This choice ties into stochastic ordering, of which there are many types. Some are content with comparing averages (7 vs 6.5), but it’s not so clear cut.
