Brings me back.

I had an interrupted process towards a degree and, when I returned, they had changed the math requirements. I had to meet with a professor to show proclivity in probability.

Having forgotten the correct math terms, I got confused about a discussion of a probability calculation for a series of events and responded incorrectly. He was just about to tell me that I had to take the course when I then explained to calc using backgammon as an example, this being the probability of rolling a 6 in two rolls of the dice.

Saved me 3 units of work. :-)
