Roul, Your expression is a good one. To define a verb you could start here:
(~.,.#/.~)/:~+/1+?2 1e6$6
2 28046
3 55258
4 83532
5 111206
6 138742
7 166167
8 139145
9 111078
10 83270
11 55635
12 27921
Now define a function. It could easily be monadic:
fdrm=: 13 :'(~.,.#/.~)/:~+/1+?y'
fdrm
[: (~. ,. #/.~) [: /:~ [: +/ 1 + ?
]d=:fdrm 2 1e6$6
2 27744
3 55994
4 83221
5 111031
6 138908
7 166726
8 138794
9 111511
10 82566
11 55995
12 27510
There is only one more design issue and we'll be finished with the turkey
roll.
Finally define a function to produce the percentage of each of the rolls
occurred. Percent was traumatic for some students, so we'll give the
function a warm fuzzy name:
purr=:
purr
(your tacit definition should land here)
Now see what happens to your data:
purr d
2 0.027797
3 0.05549
4 0.082886
5 0.111182
6 0.138412
7 0.166141
8 0.140112
9 0.11171
10 0.083511
11 0.055302
12 0.027457
assert 1=1{+/purr d
Put in your function and data (purr d) and no response indicates the sum of
the percentages in the second column had a sum of 1 or 100%
Now see if you can write purr.

Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Many Turkey Rolls - No embargo
I am having trouble understanding this one also.
I think I understand 1:
#/.~/:~+/?2 1e6$6
27773 55724 83930 111049 138508 166122 138982 111263 83609 55632 27408
Or, perhaps:
(~.,.#/.~)/:~+/1+?2 1e6$6
2 27704
3 55158
4 83565
5 111238
6 138938
7 167140
8 138898
9 110833
10 83313
11 55783
12 27430
Item 2, however, seems mysterious. The platonic solids would have face
counts of 4, 6, 8, 12, 20, but if we had 100 of each in a bucket and toss
the bucket 200 times and total the numbers we will almost always have over
100 unique values in those resulting sums. This would result in a rather
odd frequency distribution so I'm not at all sure that I understand the
problem correctly.
Furthermore, the additional text seemed to have little relation to these
two items, so I am very confused.
