Ok some friends and I have been arguing over this for hours!
If we are rolling 3 six sided dice, one at a time, what are the odds that one of the three dice will land on a 6 (lets say). Each dice clearly has a 1/6 chance of landing on the 6 each. We are not interested in more than one result of 6 in the series of dice we are rolling. So if it matters (I don't think it does) the rolling stops after a 6 is attained.
Help from someone who definitely knows how this works would be greatly appreciated. Our answers are 42% or 50%. But we cannot agree or prove decisively to each other which is correct.
