Statistics Example: After three weeks at sea, the captain of the ship
Patrick Parrish carrying salted beef must check spoilage on the cargo. He
rolls 3d10 and gets 4 5 10. He re-rolls 10 and gets a 6, so
the total of the dice is 25 (4+5+10+6). Since salted beefs
spoilage value is 50, the cargo is fine. However, the following
week, the captain will need to roll 4d10. He should probably
