Anoymous wanted dubs.

She posted checkem and did not get dubs yesterday.

She posted checkem today, what is the probability she gets dubs?

(For the duration of this discussion I will drop my RedCream mannerisms.)

Out of a three-digit space, including the outlier four-digit 1000, what is the probability of attaining dubs without regard to looking behind?

There are three sorts of dubs in that space: Simple, Zeroes, and Embedded. People commonly accept grouping the simple and zero dubs together.

Simple dubs appear in every 11 postings, including the zeroes (one for each 100ths): {11, 22, 33, ..., 100, 111, 122, ..., 977, 988, 999, 1000}

That probability is 1/11 + 1/100 =~ 0.1009

Embedded dubs are like so: {110, 111, 112, ..., 220, 221, 223, ..., 997, 998, 999, 1000}

Excluding the 1000 (which was already accounted for as a "Zero" dubs) that probability is 10x(1/110) =~ 0.0909

There are no other dubs to be found in the three-digit space, hence adding the simple dubs to the embedded dubs is:

1/11 + 1/100 + 10x(1/110) =~ 0.1918

So to attain dubs randomly, you have an overall ~19.2% chance of success, or about 5 postings in every 26 attempts.
