@snide: Does the method of rolling matter? I've found that by using a cup (Yahtzee style), my drunk friends and I are a lot more capable of rolling ten dice at once than trying to roll them all by hand.

I think using a cup is perfectly legal. Just remember to drink the beer out first. No one likes wet dice. No one.

This is the mathematician in me, but you wrote 1+1=factorial(3)=6. And that's just wrong.

@Slaker117 Your solution is basic but it works. the problem with it is two things:

a. It's not good programming. If I would ask to do the same for 11-die-prime, you would have to add code and recompile. But you can solve this pretty easily with indexing and arrays.

b. It's bad design. Try to figure out how long your program runs (a stop watch is fine) and try to understand how long it would take it to calculate the odds for 100-die-prime. This is where dynamic programming got you beat. While your program will perform at least 6^100 operations (hitting every possible combination of dice), dynamic programming will only do about 60,000x5=300,000 operations, and with some more work on the code, could probably do less. (The WHY 60,000x5 I'll leave for you to understand, or ask...)

If this whoe thread is interesting for you, take a probability course and a CS algorithms course. Dynamic Programming is usually taught there.

not really a quote, but the bango scene from Deliverance would probably be replaced by them playing "Dueling Bangos" on Rock Band.

"1.21 GigaWatts ?!"... yeah, that one will probably just stay the same.

Duders,

I got a relative flying to Brussels in a couple of days for about 2 days. Any of you know of good game stores in the city ? She wants to get a Kinect...

Also, if you know, what's the price for one in Brussels ?

Thanks !

So.... Yeah....

I got the old 40gb model (old....) but it works fine and wasn't giving me any problems. I've tried reseting it and every time i boot the game, it freezes on the start menu after i press start (or any key for that matter).

The things that are different from the last time it worked fine was that I got the Plus free 30 day membership and i'm in the process of downloading my two games.

Any advice ?

Just some small things: 

 There is no hover effect when you mouse over the featured promo title on chrome. (It gets underlined on FF4 and IE9)   Here's my specs: Windows 7 Chrome 12.0.742.60 beta-m 1920x1080 resolution

Israeli here too and Games For Windows works for me perfectly. I have it ever since I bought Dirt 2 from steam. It is a region thing. Steam pulls its store for you depending on your IP. So games like GTA were non to be found on steam for a very long time.
