I've got a new post showing the updated solution to @bruno-rubim 's probability challenge - come check it out!
Hi Bruno, I saw your probability challenge and decided to solve it by brute force. Out of all 7776 possible rolls of five six-sided dice, 1656 outcomes (about 21.30%) will have three or more dice with the same face. I'll post my work & equation soon.

Here's the general equation to find the probability that at least x out of y n-sided dice have the same face. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=calculate+%5Csum_%7Bi+%3D+x%7D%5Ey+%28n+%5Cbinom%7By%7D%7Bi%7D+%281%2Fn%29%5Ei+%28%28n-1%29%2Fn%29%5E%7By-i%7D%29+when+x+%3D+3%2C+y%3D+5%2C+n+%3D+6

Apparently, my Spanish skills are so bad that a native speaker preferred to talk to me in English. I'm gonna drop that from my "about" page soon. (Cependant, je peux toujours parler en français.)

In other words (to paraphrase the pun), you know enough Spanish to be dangerous (to yourself). However, take heart in knowing that you at least know enough Spanish at all as opposed to others who don't. Also, it just means that you should speak Spanish more, not less. Don't be discouraged.

Happy Fedora 40 release! 🎉 Time to upgrade my computer's packages and my website's QMD notebooks.
Does Fedora use separate utilities for local and remote packages like other distros? On FreeBSD, pkg does everything (from jails and ports, too)....
@rbuchanan Fedora uses DNF for both installing local RPM packages and downloading from repositories. You can install packages with the RPM CLI tool too, but it's not recommended. I don't think DNF is as as powerful as FreeBSD's pkg.
