[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7246901, member: 6801845"] The app rolled 4d6 drop lowest 6 times sorted the numbers lowest to highest and then added the number to the appropriate entry in an array. I ran it 10,000,000 times an then divided the totals by 10,000,000. It's possible the sorting/bucketing skewed the results somewhat but I'm not enough of a mathematician to tell you that answer. Percentages 3: 45698 for 0.46% 4: 185435 for 1.85% 5: 463554 for 4.64% 6: 970876 for 9.71% 7: 1759450 for 17.59% 8: 2870240 for 28.7% 9: 4213181 for 42.13% 10: 5649762 for 56.5% 11: 6849121 for 68.49% 12: 7726461 for 77.26% 13: 7964239 for 79.64% 14: 7408369 for 74.08% 15: 6068077 for 60.68% 16: 4351651 for 43.52% 17: 2501156 for 25.01% 18: 972730 for 9.73% overall average: 12.2450446333333 Of course if anyone wants to independently verify I'm open. Grab some friends and start rolling, by end of the year you should have a similar sample size. :) [/QUOTE]
