| Oct 6, 2010 at 21:59 | comment | added | David E Speyer | Fair enough, and your answer is well written. This sort of thing is always going to grey areas, but I didn't like that there were three votes to close with no explanation. | |
| Oct 6, 2010 at 21:44 | comment | added | Michael Lugo | I hadn't seen it, which is why I answered it. (I almost voted to close, actually, until I realized this was not the Sicherman dice problem.) | |
| Oct 6, 2010 at 21:25 | comment | added | David E Speyer | I just want to note that I am one of the people voting to close. My concern is that this is a very standard exercise on how to use generating functions to work with probability; I was assigned it as an undergrad and I'm sure I will assign it in turn. | |

| Oct 6, 2010 at 20:31 | comment | added | Hans Lundmark | Just a side note: A famous example of the generating function techniques described in the answers is the derivation of the "Sicherman dice", two unequal dice with the same distribution for the sum as a pair of ordinary six-sided dice. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicherman_dice. | |
