Default Re: probability of n ties in a race to three (roshambo)

You can replace the phrase "convolution of n geometric distributions" with "negative binomial distribution" (and "with mean 1/2" by "with probability of success 2/3") to make it look a little less scary.

But it's the same calculation.
