    Does the Prestige of Your University Determine Your Success?

    ( hmm ... it really wasn't my intention to start off an argument ... ) I still have time to decide, being 16. I'm sure the french system is different too, I'll get advice from my current school for the future. Going back to the original "how much does school matter" I guess that's in function...

    Dice problem that I can't fully get my head around

    Hmm ... interesting variety of answers to this question. But I believe the answer can be found logically. The dice throws . They're consecutive, yes, but they are not "linked" , they don't "multiply" each other or anything like that. Each one , no matter be it roll number 1 , 24 or 300 , is...
