   I am about to roll a 1d6. What face will the die land on?

   Probabilistic: 1.968 s - 76% chance it lands on a 1.

   Generation: 3.083 s - Equal split.

      Just verified with the "real" Jev: that gave a probability of 84% that it would land on a 1, with 83% confidence within 62ms.

            Hey, it may have been confidently wrong, but at least it was fast!

         Weird, I tried it and Jev gave me 16-18% for each face of the die.

            Interesting! To be fair, I only tried it once, I did not look at a distribution over several attempts, so I may have just gotten (un)lucky. I'd expect this example to be training case #1 though.
