Kebab Palace Casino Conclusion (Posted on 2023-04-04) Difficulty: 2 of 5
• The "Kebab Palace Casino" in Madsdale has dice with 20 sides.
• The "house" rolls two 20-sided dice and the "player" rolls one 20-sided die.
• If the player rolls a number on his die between the two numbers the house rolled, then the player wins.
• Otherwise, the house wins (including ties).

Determine the player's probability of winning.

I suspect you mean his chance of winning the game is               171/200 * 1/3 = 57/200?


I really like this solution method.
