Die Toss (Posted on 2003-07-24)

A die is tossed until the sum of the rolls is 15 or greater.

What is the most likely total? What is the the least likely total which can occur?

I'm not a die person or a maths person but to ensure a total of 15 or more might require 15 throws in which case the least likely total would be 15. I'll leave the rest to others.
