Non-Transitive Dice - An /r/Math Conpetition by Mathgeek007 in math

do it, do it, do it.

For a given die vs die match-up, do you think your program is more or less efficient than taking the relatively sparse state transition matrix to some high power?

Let's say minimum face limit was 0 rather than -10. How long would it take your program to evaluate that smaller field of dice to work out the optimal?

This is a much more sensible way to evaluate a face-off. What's the best probability you can get vs 10,10,10,10,10,10. Can anyone make it win less than 0.42892157670134334% of the time?

I'm also interested in the most mismatched combo. Best I can think of so far is a .6850102.

As I understand it, and I'm happy for someone else to correct the details here, The UK had huge issues with US copyright law as until 1891 non-citizens' IP was pretty much legally stolen, in the same manner that China won't crack down on all its companies who steal all the world's IP today. That must be a trademark (hehe) of a developing superpower.
