The Problem with Probabilities....

Throw a dice six times.

On which throw will a six show on top?

The above is the problem with probabilities.

Re: Problem (?) with Probabilities?

The probability does not preclude that on a fair die
we always throw a six.

It states that it is unlikely to occur ... extremely unlikely,
but anything with a finite probability CAN happen every time.
