Guess I'm the only one who wrote a computer program to calculate the odds
and then made a 3D plot of success probability vs. TN and number of dice
being rolled, huh? ;)

BTW, while calculating the odds in the new system may be a big harder, it's
still not completely trivial. You need to calculate binomial coefficients
to do it right.
