    Default Dice odds question?

    What are the odds of rolling 11 d10s and getting a total of 11 (1 on every dice)?

    I feel like I should know the formula, but I don't.

    You have a one in n chance of rolling any given number on an n-sided die. Therefore rolling a specific sequence of numbers in order is 1/n * 1/n * 1/n... , or 1/(n**m) for m dice. So one in a hundred billion.
