PRCHEAT is for people who understand probability as much as those who use acronyms to rote-learn phrases as a substitute to understanding the meaning of them.

Thus, it is no surprise that AppleXY doesn't share my hate for PRCHEAT :P

After Prcheat wiped my memory I do everything manually since as Coblin mentioned it has some disadvantageous, like when n is unknown, although PrCheat is editable so you can fix the ans part by just storing the ans as a constant ( if you know how to edit ) although I personally don't enjoy it as the TI-84 gives pretty crappy programming comfort, especially for a long program like PrCheat haha

For 2 marks, you need to show working and the answer!
1 mark is just the answer. But you should always show workings...
