You aint missing nothing, I guess your being generous pointing out my error. I duplicate 51 and missed 44. Its all done in the head of course about 15 seconds. Not used it for a while.

to roll a straight 6 with two dice 11 rolls

to roll a straight 5 with two dice 11 rolls

that is 22 rolls less 2 for 65 duplication = 20 rolls

count rolls that sum to 6 and 5 respectively

they will include 42 33 22 in respect of the 6 : 4 rolls

and 44 41 32 in respect of the 5 : 5 rolls

A total of 29 rolls or if you prefer 81%

you start at numbers not used you just work down starting with 4 then 3 then 2. Use both hands clenched, left for mixed rolls, right for doubles. easy to count with them fingers sticking up. My error proves a point the visual position is mostly enough, no calculations required if you have the knowledge. The knowledge is great for checker play and the occasional cube decision and its certainly not decimal point stuff. Playing from the mid point against contact no longer a problem . Dont forget squaring spares etc.

Keep switching lol
