I hate decisions like these.

Well, no, I actually kind of like them, but I hate working out the math.

  • option 1: take the c(X=15) now before it rolls out of reach; it's the only single die g. can retain and win. I'll still need to capture either the 10-sided die or both of the 6-sided dice, but that's relatively doable.
  • option 2: take the 6-sided die with value 1 now. My 12-sided die will stay safe another turn and I need only capture the 15-sided die and either one of the other two.


I know what I did, and I know, in principle, how to work out the math if I stopped to think. But who wants to do that?
