No, the Cosa Nostra did not play an im****tant part in the discovery of
mathematics.

But the behavior of dice that *aren't* loaded will follow a certain
pattern - one that mathematics has made clear - whether or not the
people playing at dice know of this.

The name "Girolamo Cardano" might bear Googling in this connection.
(Oh, dear. That's an *Italian* name, isn't it?)
