Messing around with supply dice in a game. Here are the average number of times you can expect a die of a size to last if it decays to the next smaller sizer on a 1 or a 2, then be expended after 1.
| d | minimum uses | avg uses |
| 12 | 6 | 13.03 |
| 10 | 5 | 9.23 |
| 8 | 4 | 6.12 |
| 6 | 3 | 3.71 |
| 4 | 2 | 2.00 |
What did you use to calculate this? I tried to do a brute force approximation in Python but it never really worked
