document.write( "Question 779792: If I roll 5 regular dice out of a cup (and continuously re-roll; meaning roll then pick up all the dice and restart, pick up / restart, etc.), what is the probability of getting \"5 of a kind\" within 1,296 attempts (including the 1,296th roll)? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I tried this:
\n" ); document.write( "x = Probability of NOT rolling \"5 of a kind\" within 1,296 attempts = (1295/1296)^1296≈0.37\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Probability of rolling \"5 of a kind\" within 1,296 attempts = 1 - x ≈ 0.63
