Some people offer advice on how to win at games of chance, or how to influence probability in your favour. Can you decide whether advice is good or not?
Engage in a little mathematical detective work to see if you can spot the fakes.
Imagine flipping a coin a number of times. Can you work out the probability you will get a head on at least one of the flips?
If two of these unusually numbered dice are thrown, how many different sums are possible?
