@St_Rev reminds me of the algorithm for approximating any sided dice with just coinflips

@drethelin Just binary, right? -
@St_Rev probably, I can't seem to find it with a quick google. It was a little applet that spit out how many flips you need -
@drethelin It's obv. how to do d4 or d8. For d6 do d8 and ignore results of 7 and 8. etc. etc. -
@St_Rev@drethelin weird implication: on average you need more coinflips for d6 than for d8. -
@emareaf@drethelin Well, you can improve it by doing 2 flips and starting over if you get 2 heads.
