Ugh. No. It doesn't accumulate. If you roll a 6 sided die 6 times, your chances for rolling a 6 don't go up or down the more you roll it. It will always be 1 in 6.

If you roll a 6 sided die, you have a 1/6 chance to land on 6. No matter how many times you roll it. It will always be 1 in 6. Every. Single. Time. My god... what are they teaching in math nowadays?

I don't think you read what I said. The chances of rolling a six 6 times in a row is not 1/6. The chances of rolling a six after five consecutive sixes is 1/6. Take another look at my post. The 1/216 are the odds of rolling 3 sixes in 3 opportunities

One pull never effects the next pull, so always the same odds No you misunderstand me. To have opened 3 crystals and get the same skill class each time it is 1/216. Because the first crystal has 1/6, then the next has 1/6 and the next has 1/6. Probability of every one of them being skill is 1/216, because that’s how statistics works. 1/6 * 1/6 * 1/6= 1/216 However you are talking about something else. Clearly the chance of a particular crystal being skill is 1/6. That much is obvious and I understood that aged 8. But for each to be skill it’s much more unlikely because there are 216 different outcomes of the crystal each one of them being equally likely. Eg Skill, skill, skill Skill skill science Skill skill mystic Skill skill Tech Etc etc

Eg Skill, skill, skill Skill skill science Skill skill mystic Skill skill Tech Etc etc I believe the example used by Hubris is called probability without replacement. If I am wrong though please remember I have not had a math class since my senior year of high school. I tested out of everything I needed for college.

I think your choice of words is what is confusing. You should say probability, not chance. The probability of rolling a dice three times and getting the same result (let's just say the number 3) is 1 in 216. Why? Because there are 215 other possible outcomes. For instance you could roll a 3, then roll a 3, and then roll a 5. Or you could roll a 1, then roll a 2, and then roll a 5. Either way the probability of rolling the same number on three rolls of the dice is 1/216.

You write a lengthy post for why I should have said probability rather than chance, and even include a screenshot of the definition. Did you see the synonyms......."chance"
