    Default Dice Probability Question

    The probability of two fair 6-sided dice to roll doubles is 1/6. The probability of rolling 3 doubles in a row is (1/6)^3. Which is 1/216 or 0.46%.


    If I roll dice 10,000,000 times, I would expect this value to be fairly close to 46k. This is not the case, when I perform this simulation I get ~38k.


    10 mil, appears to be sufficient sample size to tell me that either my simulation is wrong or my math or both .
