Happy !!!

Here is why 2d6 comes up 7 more than any other number!

here's another way to look at it :) 🎲

@Sophie a first-order approximation of a normal distribution!

the more dice you add, the closer it gets to a standard bell curve. of course, your sum gets bigger, but if you divide by the number of dice, it stays pretty stable with 3.5 being the average

(which is also the average for a single dice roll)

@Sophie it's also fun for me to follow the graph of the sets 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6. Same curve but half the height.

@Sophie Also a good representation of my preference for dealing with solutions of a particular pH.

@Sophie This concept is nothing new to us, yet seeing it laid out so beautifully... It's like we have a new way of knowing the same thing.

@Sophie damn, that's a nice way to show the distribution

@gkrnours @Sophie better yet, the distribution of the sum of two uniform RVs is triangular also in the continuous case :)

@Sophie I remember drawing a table like this on paper years ago to figure out the probabilities of rolling 2d6, because that was the only way that I could wrap my head around it.

@Sophie ngl I thought this was a pride flag
