I came up with 16 rolls. At 2.57 standard deviations, on a standard bell curve, there is a 99% probability a given outcome would be expected. If there is a 25% chance that a number would appear (four sided die), wouldn't that mean that there is a 75% chance that that one of the other numbers appears-- and that there is a 75% chance on each successive roll that one of the other numbers appear?

In other words, .75 x .75 x .75...until there is only a .01 probability that the next roll will be one of the three numbers without the original number being rolled?

Does that make sense? Am I completely off base?
