Actually, the game can be very useful in simplifying math problems. For instance:
You and a friend take turns rolling a dice...
...you win if you roll a _ first...
...what is the probability that you win the game?
The solution is simple. The probability that you win is 0, because as soon as you hear about the game, you lose. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some mathematicians who need to be convinced of this answer.
