No, because the probability of rolling a number that is not one is also 5 out of 6. It cancels out.

Hello, /sci/.
Anyone who learns new mathematics and asks: "What's the point of this?" is a dumb idiot. Why?
Look at this thing to the left. It's Fermat's last theorem. This little fucker had kept mathematicians busy for over four hundred years. All sorts of new mathematics were invented (ideal numbers, irregular primes, Sophie Germain-primes, to name some) until it was finally solved in the 90's by Andrew Wiles.
What is the use of Fermat's Last Theorem? There is absolutely no fucking use for the thing. Never has it been used for a proof or something like that. Yet, it served as a catalyst for a lot of new mathematics (modular mathematics, ellipses). So, next time you encounter a supposedly 'useless' item, shut the fuck up and think back to Fermat's Last Theorem and the stuff that came out of attempts at solving the problem.

No Maths involved here, but it's the most basic shit you'll ever find.

I like how any of the threads having 'magnet' in the OP always desolve into saging and namecalling within 5 posts. On /sci/, that is.

A fucking awesome phenomenon proved by SCIENCE. Google "LaBerge Lucid Dreaming" or something if you don't believe me.

Apply autosuggestion, maybe? Also, being motivated helps a ton. You have to resist the urge to go to sleep again, which is the barrier you're trying to overcome, right? The basic solution to this is blunt willpower and after a while it gets in your system.

There aren't really any. There's the possibility of 'forcing' a lucid dream by doing a shitton of reality checks during the day and completely focussing on LD'ing, but that has limited uses. The best is to persevere and keep on doing your techniques. WBTB is also pretty much guaranteed to lead to a lucid dream (I believe the odds are 4 out of 5).

Bump for more. I support this wholeheartedly. Here's some info about the science of lucid dreaming.

Lucid dreaming (term coined by Frederik van Eeden, 1913) is a state of cognition wherein the dreamer is explicitly aware that he or she is dreaming, while she is dreaming. During this, one is able to think and reason clearly, able to recall things from waking life and can act voluntarily, all while in a dreamworld that is often indistinguishable from the real world. (Greene, 1968; Kahan et al. 1997)
Looking at it from a brain perspective, it's an interesting conept. Lucid dreaming is physiologically defined as one part of the brain being in waking state, whilst the other is in dreaming state. (Hobson, Pace-Schott & Stickgold, 2000)

Scientific evidence for lucid dreaming was found by LaBerge et Al. in 1981. Previous studies had shown that REM eye movements during sleep correspond to the experiences in the dreamworld. (Fenwick et al. 1984; Roffwarg et al., 1962, to name some) LaBerge's subjects were asked to signal a specific pattern upon becoming lucid. The polysomnographs recorded showed these eye-movement patterns, proving that the subjects had been lucid. (Kahan & LaBerge, 1994; LaBerge 1990; LaBerge et al., 1981)
