So, what do you think A. should do?

reroll the die with a value of 6? or capture my 8 sided die with a value of 7? The latter
clearly increases the chance I have to reroll my 20-sided die; but if I *do* have to reroll my die, the former has a much better expected value of the lower die.

Or am I giving it away even by phrasing it this way?

(oh, let me point out the previous post was only published today, even though it says "October 30" -- the draft was dumped onto the site way back then, but I didn't get around to reviewing it until just today!)
