Comment	Post #288939	I just realized this place is two years old and not, like, a few months, but my point still stands (more)	—	11 months ago
Comment	Post #288939	from a somewhat shallow look, it seems as though this site still has a quite small userbase, I'm sure the answers will come trickling in sooner or later :) (more)	—	11 months ago
Comment	Post #288939	Also, I wonder if there is another nice visualization of the answer like the one I eventually found for the one about the max roll. Might think about that for a bit. (more)	—	11 months ago
Comment	Post #288939	I feel like someone who doesn't read the whole post before voting also won't read comments :) thanks for caring @#53890 tho! gotta say these nice entry-level challenges are refreshing, on cgse there's this "you're answering a 9 years old question" every time I want to do some basic q's. i'm a sucker ...

Comment	Post #288939	right, might clarify this in my answer (more)	—	11 months ago
Comment	Post #288939	I'd hoped you also had a much more intuitive closed form than mine for this problem :) I guess I kinda cheated by looking it up on the OEIS, though I suppose I could've come up with it with some more days of thought (more)	—	11 months ago
Comment	Post #288914	thanks for the feedback, was experimenting with this new style for long visual explanations - I would've generated the tables with APL anyways, might as well put the code in as well :) (more)	—	11 months ago
Comment	Post #288914	@#53890 I've added an explanation for what I visualize my function to be doing (and also realized that, of course, $7 - \left(\frac 6 6\right)^n$ is just $6$ :) ) (more)	—	11 months ago
Comment	Post #288914	Yep, I read your sol and instantly went "oh this is a generalization of the 2n-1 "shells" for the 6x6 table. Still trying to figure out mine :) and also why the one I had without 7- doesn't give the correct answer (like, I get why it can't work - it's decreasing instead of approaching 6 in the limit,...

Comment	Post #288914	I found it by first writing just the sum, without the 7 - part, realized it was accidentally decreasing in the limit but that the n=1 case was correct, so I just tried to flip it and shift it up and it worked. I'm not really sure how it works - still trying to figure that out :) thanks for working ou... (more)	—	11 months ago
Comment	Post #288897	I think this has also a hard limit after n = 17 (if I remember correctly), because an intermediate step is generating a n-dimensional array and 17 is the maximum rank allowed in dyalog (more)	—	11 months ago
Comment	Post #288897	I was trying to come up with a closed form solution, but realized it would almost definitely be longer than just generating all the cases, which is quite short in APL. I suppose I'll try to get a closed form anyways and see if I was right (more)	—	11 months ago
