test VS bcapps

The full code is here: https://github.com/rec/test/blob/master/python/cache_method.py

Here are just some of the test programs I have written in the last five years: https://github.com/rec/test/tree/master/python

If I have any longer question, I write a little test program, and I check it into a git repo in case one day I need it again: https://github.com/rec/test/tree/master/python (Those aren't worth reading individually except to get an idea of how to write little experiments.)

I just went and checked in this file which is both named after you and contains your name: https://github.com/rec/test/blob/master/txt/marquis77.txt

Often I write tiny test programs which I save here. Then these lead me to other questions and finally to full-fledged computer programs.

I missed an edge case - can you see it? Solution.

I create a new Git repo for any project of any size, and for tiny experimental program, I have a "grab bag" repo (here: https://github.com/rec/test/tree/master/python).

Just for fun, I created maxdierolls.csv in https://github.com/barrycarter/bcapps/tree/master/ONEOFF/ that shows the results for 1 <= k <= n <= 100

To be fair, I actually do this in https://github.com/barrycarter/bcapps/tree/master/bc-gcdist.pl because it's useful in determining Internet ping times. Roughly speaking, Internet packets rarely travel faster than 0.5c (though I have seen as high as 0.6c)

I never really got anywhere on this, but my work is at https://github.com/barrycarter/bcapps/tree/master/bc-calc-risk-odds.m

The exact chance is 34382839/81839428 or about 42.013%. I used Mathematica and recursion to solve this: https://github.com/barrycarter/bcapps/blob/master/REDDIT/repeat-cards.m

Feel free to take a look at https://github.com/barrycarter/bcapps/tree/master/README-projects.txt but here's a more sinister and useful suggestion that doesn't really answer your question.

Try graph1.csv in https://github.com/barrycarter/bcapps/blob/master/ONEOFF/

My https://github.com/barrycarter/bcapps/tree/master/FINANCES/bc-parse-bank-email.pl probably won't help, but is an example of how you can parse different types of documents (emails from various banks) using a single script

https://github.com/barrycarter/bcapps/tree/master/bc-getmail.pl checks all my email accounts in a neverending loop, handling cases where getmail gets stuck

At one point, I cataloged some PBS strips at https://github.com/barrycarter/bcapps/tree/master/METAWIKI/pbs.txt -- you might find something useful there though it's nowhere near complete
