Please help me make a pseudo code solution for this problem.

A person suspects that a dice is biased and gets 10 people to throw 100 times each and record.

A algorithm is need input numbers from each person (into the a Throws array) and output the distribution of the numbers 1 to 6 as well as output the highest scoring.
Output whether or not the dice is biased.

You'd need a distance metric for this. You'd never be sure if a dice is biased. You can throw 100 6s and it is still an unbiased dice even though probability of throwing 100 6s is 1/6^100.
So, you'd need some threshold and say a square distance metric.

Let's define M = [16.6, 16.6, 16.6, 16.6, 16.6, 16.6] array. This is 1/6 probability of each number a dice can be thrown in 100 throws.

If Throws array has the number of throws for each number, you can use a metric like

1/100 * Sum(1 = 0 to 5)(Throws - M)^2

And if this is greater than some threshold, the dice is "probably" biased.

He was obviously just trying to cheat on his homework assignment. Continue to stroke your own egos if you must I suppose. Just stop pretending like you're responding to the OP while you do it. Thanks!

A flowchart would solve the max 8 software bug. Yup.
Work on that..
You can bet other planes in Boeing's fleet have the same code origins.. Maybe even airbus.. who knows..
Yeeeeeaaaaahhh....right....:shadedshu:
