    it's not. You roll, You fail, You fail, You fail, You fail, You fail, end roll. your failures are not in a row.
    The law of probability.

    As you increase your trial number, the chances of you getting it should become higher. Go flip a coin and see what is the probability of you failing to flip a head 10 times in a roll. (hint -> 1/2 ^ 10 = 0.00097 = almost zero)

    41% can be many things, but the end result is, IF you roll X number of times, the success rate should be 41%.

    So ...

    roll (fail 0.0x) 1x = 0%
    roll (fail 0.0x) 2x = 0% (next roll should be a success)
    roll (success 33%) 3x = 33%
    Why?

    The condition is total chances, if you did a trial of 1000, you should have 410 success. If you did a trial of 2, you MIGHT have 1 success, because your 50% is outside of the 41%, so you still have 8% failure rate. But if you did a trial of 3, you should have at least 1 success since you went from 100% -> 50% -> 33%.

    Therefore, out of 14 rolls, the person should have at least 5.74 successes, which means he should have at least 5 successes, and possible 6th.

    Do not believe I am right? Go ahead, go roll a dice (17%) and see how far you can go w/o getting a 1 or 2 (34%).
