Digital Dice: Computational Solutions to Practical Probability Problems"Paul Nahin's Digital Dice is a marvelous book, one that is even better than his Duelling Idiots. Nahin presents twenty-one great probability problems, from George Gamow's famous elevator paradox (as corrected by Donald Knuth) to a bewildering puzzle involving two rolls of toilet paper, and he solves them all with the aid... | | The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4A: Combinatorial Algorithms, Part 1
