A gambler’s dispute in 1654 is said to have led to the creation of mathematical probability. Two French mathematicians, Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat, considered the probability that in 24 throws of a pair of dice at least one “double six” occurs. It was commonly believed by gamblers at the time that betting on double sixes in 24 throws would be a profitable bet (i.e., greater than 50% chance of occurring). But Pascal and Fermat showed otherwise. Find this probability.
