Clearly a cube.

Three nonoverlapping ways give every way could win after taking:

A) Opponent rolls 23 and then you cash. 2 wins out of 36.

B) Opponent does not roll 23, 44, 55, 66 and then you roll doubles. 1/6 x 31/36 = 5 1/6 wins out of 36. We need to find 1 5/6 more wins out of 36 equals 66 out of 1296.

C) Opponent is not off in two rolls and does not start 23 and you take two rolls:

For opponent not off in 2:

i) 21 gives 2 x 13 = 26 ii) 11 and 31 give 3 x 5 = 15 iii) 41 51 61 gives 6 x 2 = 12

We only reach 53/1296 and have not even multiplied by 5/6 yet.

Double/Pass.

--- On a side note I clicked save password, but need to still enter it each time. Is that happening for others?
