Ok, I must fix this previous apology to Jim Freeze. 0 -> 10 was *not*
a typo. He just misinterpreted my notation. And seeing as I followed
his misinterpretation before second glance, it's perfectly justified.
In the paragraph above the -> represented "is interpreted as". So when
rolling two ten sided dice for a d100, double-nought ('00') is
interpreted as 100. When rolling a single d10, 0 is interpreted as 10.
