  • The statistical advantage in the game of Risk.?

    Any one know what the advantage the attacking roller has in a game of Risk. I'd like to know percentage wise when its 3 attacking dice vs. 2 defending dice.

    For anyone not familiar with "Risk" an attacking roller rolls 3 dice and the defender rolls 2 dice. The 2 highest attacking dice are compared with the 2 defending dice, (the highest attacking dice MUST be compared to the highest defending dice) each dice represents one army. If the each of the 2 highest attacking dice beat the defender's dice the defender loses 2 armies. If one dice is higher and the other is lower each player loses an army, or if both of the defenders dice are higher, the attacker loses 2 armies. THE DEFENDER WINS ALL TIES. For example attacker rolls 6,3,2 the defender rolls 6,4. The attack loses 2 armies (6 loses to 6, and 3 loses to 4)

    Thank you. Might need a math wizard for this one.

  • Can I replace a P205 55R16 89V tire with a P205 55R16 89H tire?

    They are both Bridgestone Potenza tires with similar tread (about 7/32's) and they're going on a Subura Impreza. I really need a tire/auto expert for this one. Thanks.

  • Baseball rules question?

    Situation #1: The batter hits a foul ball that goes directly back and hits the catcher in the mask or protector or shoulder or whatever, the ball deflects up, and the catcher is able to make a legal catch.

    (I understand this is NOT a foul tip as the ball did not go directly back and first hit the catchers glove or hands.)

    Situation 2: The batter hits a line drive in FOUL territory which first hits the first baseman in the chest, deflects up, and the first basemen is able to make a legal catch.

    In both of these situations, is the batter out or is it a foul ball? If they are different, why?

  • Baseball Rules Questions, Foul ball or an out?

    A batter swings and fouls a pitch that glances off the catcher's face and amazingly the catcher catches the ball before it hits the ground or anything else. Is this an out, or a foul ball?

  • Roto fantasy baseball rules question?

    Here's the scenario, Player A goes on the 15 day DL, so you pick up Player B to replace him. When Player A comes back from the DL you are forced to release either player A or player B, (you have to choose between the two). you can not pick someone else on your team to release, so that you can keep both players. Does anyone else play like this. I've never heard of this before.

  • Golf rules question, wrong ball?

    After teeing off, Player A hits player B's ball onto the green without realizing it. Then player B hits player A's ball on the green. They both take 2 putts to finish the hole, and both make 4's (both still playing the wrong ball). Both players realize there error before teeing off on the next hole. What is the ruling?
