Hi ascian,

I'll try your math challenge in post #376 with one die.

Again, I would choose to go second.

If my opponent had 0, 1, or 2: I'd throw the 3 die.

If my opponent had 3: I'd throw the 4 die.

If my opponent had 4: I'd throw the 5 die.

If my opponent had 5: I'd throw the 6 die.

If my opponent had 6: I'd throw the 6 die.

The odds for getting the winning number are higher on the lower numbered dies. The best you could do with the 6 die is a tie, and then you would have to repeat the contest.

With my limited understanding of all things math, I believe you are correct. Ascian will be home this evening.
