Dear "Professor Harmon",

    I have no love for the Zone but if you are going to try to scam us
I suggest you get your math right first. Doubles occur 1/6 of the time,
not 1/36 of the time. Furthermore, I strongly suspect that if they were
going to cheat on behalf of someone they would use other rolls as well
as doubles. Doubles can truly suck a lot of the time. Finally, an AWFUL
LOT of bg games (and dice rolls) are happening at the same time and
cheating for a friend each "shift" will still likely produce dice
trials still well within expected variance.

Yours truly,
Professor happyjuggler0
