This is irrelevant. You are not answering the question. The survival of the people IN THE ROOM depends only on the dice, not on F. This is fundamental. Your difficulty is not in the math, but in the English or the interpretation thereof. Since you won't clarify which people you are calculating the survival of, if you won't accept that, then there is no point in continuing the discussion. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.com/
