I had a possibly similar problem calculating probs related to premium
bond permutation. With 10^12 memory ran out v quickly. In the end I got
round it by writing a recursive function and quantising the probability
density function.

I think I got it. I noticed my code is essentially the same as Tim
Peter's (plus the part of the problem he skipped). I read his code 20
minutes before recreating mine from Alex's hints. Thanks!
def main():
ways = ways_to_roll()
total_ways = float(101**10)
running_total = 0

I think the sum would come close to a normal distribution.
