为什么 HN 推它
一堂生动硬核的概率论实战课，清晰展示了统计学如何成为戳穿作弊与反常幸运的利器。
「它不仅揭穿了作弊者，还帮人直观建立了对‘几乎不可能事件’的概率直觉。」HN 网友原话：It not only exposes the cheater, it also gives some intuition into negligible probabilities.

It not only exposes the cheater, it also gives some intuition into negligible probabilities.
It can still be a fair die.
Here's a good rundown of a case where a cheater is considered to have been exposed by statistical evidence
