Hey Tiger,

Thanks for recovering that ouptput file. Too bad I didn't send you the entire source code for safe-keeping.

Anyway, the magic number of 1 in 108,943 probability for a 678 straight tri now reappears, since it is derived from combining 48 cases of 1 in 2^23 with 58 cases of 1 in 2^24.

Seeing this file inspired me to spend a little more time on the impossible rebet tri problem, which I will post at the top.

One more thing, I always assumed, perhaps mistakenly, that 678 was clearly the worst tri number. Does your simulator allow you to rank the low end. I am now wondering about the true probability of 578, 587 and 687.
