Probability

If 128 six-sided dice are rolled, what is the probability that the sum of the dice will not exceed 320?

Well, you could use the fact that the average of a large number of dice throws (discrete uniform distribution) will approach a normal distribution, and that you'd need an average below 2.5 to not exceed 320.
But that'd be too easy. Monte Carlo it, no one will ever know.
