Suppose that you roll a 6-sided fair die repeatedly and record the values in order. Given the fact that the first 6 appears before the first 5, what is the EV of the number of rolls until you get a 6 (including the roll that got the 6)? Answer quickly based off of your intuition (curious to see how intuitive this is).
