Resourcefulness Challenge (15 Points)
This is just a simple question to test your resourcefulness. Describe what you would do in the following situation, in at least 150 words!
You are dueling someone in the woods. They are firing very powerful spells at you. You are under heavy fire. There is no chance to counter attack at all. You notice a piece of dead tree bark to your left and a hollow tree to your right. They both look very strong and able to hold up against your opponents spells. Choose your own adventure: which way do you go and how do you use the objects given to you? You can only choose 1 way, left or right. So choose carefully.

Take a screenshot at the end of the game, upload it to your favorite image hosting site. You can earn 10 points for simply finishing the game, but 15 points if you beat Bill (the computer), so keep trying your luck until you do!
Option B: In the game of Yahtzee, you must roll five dice, and attempt to get various combinations of numbers.
1. The highest scoring roll (a "Yahtzee") occurs when all five numbers match, for example, rolling five 5's, or five 3's. What is the probability of rolling a Yahtzee in one roll?
2. Several categories are scored by adding up the total rolled on all five dice (e.g. 1+2+4+5+3=15). What total number do you have the greatest chance of rolling?
3. How would both of the prior answers change if there were 6 dice instead of 5?
