in thread Rolling DND Dice.

This is just a coincidence
Actually, it's not coincidence. Any fraction when converted to a decimal will become either a finite length or recurring decimal number. For example, 80/81 is 0.98765432098765432098765432... etc.

I suspect that if you calculated the expected value the analytical way, you would end up with a fraction that was somehow related to 80/81.
