The real problem was that my mind wished to place breaks at the spaces, not the *s.  

On a related note, did anyone try to figure out the losses involved if someone else has the option of flip-flopping your roll (ie, to make your roll fail or be worse)?  If I recall, the numbers closely parellel the gain of flip-flopping, but actual numbers could be good.

Mr. Teapot
liberal arts major who can't add or subtract, but can provide three separate proofs of the Pythagorean theorem and a complex discussion of Euclidean vs. no-Euclidean geometry
