Dec 1, 2017 at 4:00	comment	added	Glen_b		I expect that people will be aware of their present total incrementally ("I had 600 points and I just got another 400, so that's 1000"). The point was not that there's no need to keep track of how many points they have right now, but that there's no need to know what the formula for $\sum_{i=1}^N i$ is, nor to manipulate it algebraically to be able to figure out when the expected value of the next roll is no longer positive.
