Geocache Description:

This cache was placed for the Roseville, MI
"HNY-13 New Years Day Event" (GC3XZM4)



Boxcars (also: "Midnight") is the outcome of rolling the dice in a game of craps and getting a 6 on each die. The pair of 6 pips resembles a pair of boxcars on a freight train. In modern parlance, it refers to such a roll in any game involving 6 sided dice which are marked with pips. The probability of this roll is 1 in 36, or about 2.8%. This is the same probability for throwing any set of pairs with the dice.


Rolling two 6-sided dice 25 times gives a probability of 0.505532 that at least once, Boxcars will appear.
