Sorry, but I am still confused with the math.
So I used a die rolling program to try it out and see, here are the
results:
(die number across the top)
        1     2     3     4     5
  ----------------------------
        2    8   11    5    7
        2   12    7    3    8
        5    5    5    7     7
        5  10  10   10    8
       4   11   11    1  11
      11    1    4    7    1
       2    8    4   10    5
       1    3   12    8    6
     11    8    3   12    5
       5   10    7  10    3

Out of 10 tries I only got 3 aces (30% ?). So I guess that its not as hard as I
thought, but also not that easy either.
