      Thats the same argument to use taking a bomb on a plane. What are the odds of having 2 bombs on board?

        Ok. I know that this isn’t correct… But isn’t it?

        If you’re having an unlimited number of rolls prior to your “real” roll, then you would be, in essence, creating a situation that has a statistically lower chance of happening.

            No. You have a five percent chance of rolling any given number on any given roll on a twenty sided die.

              Before you roll any dice, the chances of rolling two nat 1s are 1/400. But after you roll your first die, whatever it happened to be, your chances of rolling a nat 1 are 1/20. The chances of the entire scenario have no impact on the probability of the individual rolls

                  The die need to warm up. I have to practice my release to make sure of a good number. Don’t take this from me.

                        This kind of thinking is wasteful. Every d20 has a finite lifespan. It was created, and it will, at some time in the future be destroyed, as all things are. That means it has a finite number of rolls in its lifetime, with an equal distribution of all possible outcomes. When you “practice roll” and get a nat 20, you have wasted one of the limited number of nat 20s that die has in it. Think of the 20s. Don’t practice roll.

                            On the contrary, it will not be the number of rolls that destroys it, but being thrown away. You should roll it as much as you can before then, any time spent not rolling is time wasted!

                                  Right but the way I took the meme was that you would roll until you get a 1, then deciding the next roll is the “real” one.

                                    That’s what the meme says, but probability doesn’t work that way. If you want the result from a roll, what you’ve roller before has no bearing on the result from this roll. Thus the chance for a single d20 roll is always 1/20, or 5%.

                                          It literally doesn’t matter whether you stick with your door or switch.

                                          Takes mathematical model and shoves it in the trash

                                          No! I won’t listen! It doesn’t matter, I tell you!!!
