How did you get 8 winning combinations? If the first die already wins (in twqo out of six cases), the second one is irrelevant in any case. These already are twelve winning combinations. And then those cases where the first die 'misses', but the second one wins are added.
Chance that the first one wins: 2/6.
Chance that the first one mises, bt the second one wins: 4/6 * 2/6 = 8/36 (probably what you thought)
Total chance 2/6 + 8/36 = 12/36 + 8 /36 = 20/36 = 0,56 (rounded).

Similar calculation:
Chance that the first one already wins: 1/6
Chance that the second one wins if the first fails: 5/6 * 1/6 = 5/36
Chance that the third one winds when the first two fail: 5/6 * 5/6 * 1/6 = 25/216
Adding it all up: 1/6 + 5/36 + 25/216 = (36 + 30 + 25) / 216 = 71/216 = 0,33 (rounded).

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

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%

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.
