511/61/61/65/6 Which corresponds to (Number of rolls)(any number)(same number)(same number)(same number)(different number)

No, because we still get that one of the first two dice is the different one. Since there are 5 places for the different die to be, and it can only be in one of these places, we can just sum up the probabilities of the different die being each of the 5 rolls. Since all these probabilities are the same, we get 5*(probability of the different die roll being the last one).

Note that there is one more complication: we are also interested in cases where the different number is not the last one.

Fortunately, this is also easy to solve, since every other position has exactly the same probability.

The standard way when using ordinal arithmetic is: Take the ordinal 1, which is {{}}. Replace each element with a ordered pair of the form {{a},{a,b}} with second element being 0 (that is {}). Repeat with second element 1. Take a union. Take find the ordinal with this order. Overall: otp({ {{{}},{{},{}}}, {{{}},{{},{{}}}} }) Or simplified

otp({ {{{}}}, {{{}},{{},{{}}}} })

As far as I can tell the only geniekin with a name change is ifrit. All other changes are to the actual genies. And at least in principle I think the changes are good: ifrit and efreeti are just different ways to transliterate the same Arabic word, as are (and this is much worse) djinn and genie. AFAIK there is nothing relating to earth in the word Shaytan or to water in the word Marid. I don't know much about the new names, but at least the duplication was surely only there for continuity reasons (which are now a detriment rather than a boon).
