I believe it would be calculated (1/250)*(1/249).... Not sure though, stats class was many, many moons ago. "The Roman Empire wasn't planned, but neither did it 'just happen.'" |

Note the ! here is the mathematical "factorial" symbol, not the Wizard having some sort of exclaimation ;) "Then you can admire the real gambler, who has neither eaten, slept through nor lived, he has so smarted under the scourge of his martingale, so suffered on the rack of his desire, for a coup at trente-et-quarante" - Honore de Balzac, 1829 |
