18 infinite
Just one note, it won't make to much difference to the results, but
as this is GURPS, the statistics are slightly different, ie a 17 & a
18 are always a failure, which means 18 won't be infinite.
Oh, you're right about that. Well, given that 17 and 18 are always
failures, then the results for 17 and 18 will be exactly the same as
for 16.
Nope, it's not that simple. As average number of rolls until a failure
to roll a 16 is 54, I think the rest of the chart should look like:
16 111.4
17 265.4
18 319.4
