almost anything *could* work,

 A case could be made for taking the poison -- but with which die?

But isn't it better to take the (4)? but with which die?

One truth prevails

 

Is it obvious what Cyozar should do here?

threading a needle

 

At first glance, I thought this was an interesting choice -- devious must reroll the (10/20=20), but is he  better off capturing the (12) or the q(6). But upon reflection, it's not a hard choice at all.

I almost said the wrong thing

I was about to write that Cycozar has only one move here that provides any chance of winning, but I realize now that's not literally true. The odds aren't good in any case, but what is the best move and what chances does it have? And what's the second best move, what chances does it have?

basic computation

What's the probability that, with optimal play, randomlife can with this round and thus the game?

Maybe I'm wrong

 

I could do the speed attack here,and 9 times out of 10 roll high enough to secure a draw. But, I'm finding the New York Button really hard to play (you often lose the z(30) on the very first turn), and can't afford to pass up the possible win, so instead I should ... well, what SHOULD I do? REALLY? and what are my chances, roughly?
