"Place your bet, and let it ride!"

Given that the first pair of snake eyes has already been rolled, the probablity of a second pair is only 1 in 36.

However, if we wanted to know the probability of rolling snake eyes twice, it would be (1/36)(1/36) or 1 in 1296. If you roll the dice and scoop them up every two seconds, then you should see it happen in less than an hour, on average.



Come back often for more funny math and geeky comics.
