I am wondering if anyone can help me.
My son has been given a spreadsheet by his maths teacher.
It has a dice game on it. The aim is to score 100 points.
You roll two 6-sided dice 36 times, score 5 points for a non-double, and -5 points for a double.
With 6 out of 36 combinations being doubles, you would expect a score of
(6 * -5) + (30 * 5) = 120
But we keep getting scores of about 0 or less.
At this point I am thinking there is something wrong with the spreadsheet macro, but my son says "the teacher says there is a trick, and it is right in front of us".
Anyone?
