I have two questions:

Similar to the "55 exactly 8 times in 20 moves" question, if you replace 55 with the 52 (i.e. a roll that comes up 2/36 of the time for any given roll), and replace 20 with x, what number for x would it take to come up with the approximately the same answer I outlined in italics?

Second, after calculating x above, replace 20 with x in the original quote (i.e. "55 exactly 8 times in x moves"), then what is the answer?

Note I am trying to put your original answer (in italics above) in perspective, not trying to drive you (or anyone else) mad with math problems.

No, I don't know the answer, and I suspect I have never known how to calculate this.
