file that under "no really bad sequences". 15 rolls escape, but X gets
hit about 1/3 of those, making for about ten market losers.
O'Hagen's law seems to narrowly imply a cube, but 66 is not the great
roll that one would expect and the blot on the five gives O enough extra wins by picking up a second checker that I'll hold.
