Not to seem rude or anything - I'm sure this stuff on basic statistics is useful to lots of readers - but do you have any plans for following this up with some less trivial stuff? Specifically things such as the Shadowrun task resolution system and others where rolls are "open ended". Obviously those must have means, expected values, and so forth as well - but they're not as obvious (and while I'm a computer scientist with a pretty good grounding in basic statistics - none of this article, for example, was news to me - I'm not sure how to calculate SR stats without using limits; I can't believe, however, that there isn't a cleverer way to do it).
