Whats the matter, are we having attitude adjustment issues here or what? Whats your problem? Way to go trying to insult the OP. Did i call you names? Dont i have a bloody title saying Dominoes completion in one run success probability? The only way this makes sense without a further description is if the success probability is the objective, the main focus. Otherwise it would be for example idiotic to ask a question and not have in mind the only unambiguous interpretation since clearly i could otherwise want to maximize the avg number of runs or the avg whatever function of runs or the sum of dominoes scoring multiples of 5s sum of ends score and all kinds of wild imagination objectives that were never specified.
For something not to be introduced it means its not necessary to introduce it because the objective is to maximize the run success probability. Otherwise that probability can be anything you want to make it, making the statement ridiculously ambiguous, undefined. It is profound that i could never mean anything else here otherwise i would have been explicit about it since it clearly requires a definition what on earth i am after. Only way such definition is not required is if its not needed. Only way its not needed is if probability maximization to finish is the only thing that matters. Who is the jackass now? There was nothing wrong with what i said. The fact you took insult in it and called me names is the only jackassious thing about it all. It is shocking in fact. Where did that come from?
