It gives 256 (2^8) possible combinations, only one of which yields 12 and only one of which yields 20. Therefore, this is not a valid determination according to the rules of ackanomic which requires all possibilities be given an equal weight. 1d9+11 would have been a correct determination for this range. Please redo the generation. --JT [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ From: Duncan Richer Subject: Acka: Delays Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 03:36:11 -0500 (EST) Sorry everyone, I've been really busy.
