    I think he meant finished-style.

    As in, he had someone finish themselves off onto it.

      Done a bit more digging, and this may be useful:

      Negative Binomial Distribution

      The expression I think you need is the "Probability Mass Function" (pmf) (see to right of that Wiki page)

          Well, thanks to all for helping!

          I have not implemented anything yet as my client has, rather harshly, given me work to do :-(

              The expected number of successes is 2N/5 where N is the number of starting die

              Is anything else needed?

                I think MUN wanted odds of N successes from D dice as well. Haven't really had time to think about that today, might do later. It's a bit more complicated.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                      Probably a good idea for the op to repeat what else he needs, and how it would be used just to clarify things
