I understand this was answered a while ago, but for the life of me, I
can't find it in the archives--(it was old-list old).

a hard and fast formula for finding out someone's X percent chance for
achieving Xa sucesses for TN Xb with Xc dice to roll for it.
something along those lines. I tried working it out myself a while ago, but
I'm in the 10th grade, and with Algebra2 being the most under my best, for
now, the best I can muster is to calculate % chance for 1 sucess with 1 die
with TN X.

I know I remember seeing it, and foolishly not recording it for all time.
Stat and Prob veterens, thank you in advance if this is within your
sphere(s) of knowledge.
