I don't know what 1d6 and 3d6 are, but you can make a program using the
ti-85's built-in random number generator that will pick a random number
between any two numbers. Here's how:
Ordinarily, RAND (the built in ti85 random # generator), picks a number
between 0 and 1. If you put RAND into this formula:
int ((UB-LB+1)*rand+LB)
you get numbers between UB (upper bound) and LB (lower bound). If you
want all the decimals, leave off the INT statement or put in a ROUND(
command. Hope this helped!
