When designing games, the basic maths of probability systems can be useful, but also lead to a bit of head-scratching, especially for those of us for whom high school maths lessons have receded somewhat into the fog of ages past. Our archive article for this week, Axes and Arithmetic part one, gives some basic things you might need to know:
