A-B

Presume 10 initial dominion - so you are generating 2 temple checks.

27% of the time a will receive a dominion increase - same with b.
However, the most likely dominion result after 1 turn would be:

121.

This is not at all what Capn's explanation says, which predicts a 202 result.

Well yeah, that's evident if you've played even 5 turns of dom3. Your dominion spreads out wide before it really starts to become deep, let alone the maxmimum depth. But I still like his analogy for n00blets.
