Yes, I already found and corrected my error.

Nope.

Recheck your math.

The easier way to calculate this imo is to calculate what loses then subtract that from 1. This way the second example is simply 1 - (5/6)^3 = 0.4213... ~ 42.1%. Also in the last step of the second example, (36 + 30 + 25)/216 = 91/216 ~ 42.1% not 71/216 ~ 33%

Oooops. It was late.

OK, So I run up VS2017 and get it to create a blank Xamarin Forms cross platform app from it's built in templates.
And "Build"
...
...
...
18 errors, 2 warnings.
"InitializeComponent" does not exist.
"Certificate expired"
"System" not found.
...
OK, lets see ... check out the .cs file, and there is calls InitialiseComponent - right click, "go to definition" - file opens, there it is.
Close the file again. And ... all the errors vanish.
Run it and it works.
So, you have to open a file to tell it where the stuff it just created is? O....Kay...

The componentization of VS2017 is nice, especially since I work exclusively in native C++, However, I've been underwhelmed by the rest of the release. The CMake support is clunky, at best, and their C++17 support is lacking. I ran into a bug with the RC version that was so blatant, I wondered what else their non-testing let through (and Griff found at lease one!)

Just a shot in the dark: If you have more than one project in the solution, make sure inter-project dependencies are set correctly. If not, the solution may build erratically, giving errors at times and not at other times.

It's a cross-platform app: it has four projects in the template.
But it's a unmodified project from a built in template: it should compile clean with no errors or warnings if it was ever tested...

I created different project types and found that about 80% of the templates either
1. Same as was in 2015, so has problem finding the right reference before first compilation (referencing assembly that compiled for 4.5, but the project target is 4.6)
2. Missing references to support the code generated...
Microsoft was so eager to release the 'fast' version of 2015, that decided to build a new version around, but the process went a bit wrong...

I'm sure if it's anything like most MS releases of something new, you'll need to wait until the first update for it to be really usable. RTM means beta these days.

One Buddhist might say: "as long as it takes;" another: "as long as you don't give;" another might giggle and hit you over the head with whatever was handy; and so forth and so on ?
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal
