perplexus.info :: Probability : An educated guess

An educated guess (Posted on 2016-04-18)

You throw a perfect die (digits 1 to 6), adding up the results until the total score is over N.

What’s your estimate of the most likely final sum?

Please write down your guess prior to analytical evaluation or simulation.
