The Yahtzee Game
Yahtzee is amazingly simple and yet complex at the same time. The premise is very straightforward. You have five dice in which to roll certain hands that will garner you a score on a score card. These dice need to be made of certain orders or amounts of numbers set up like poker hands. There is a great deal of strategy to Yahtzee, but before you learn the strategy you need to learn the basic rules.
Anyone can play Yahtzee because of the easiness in learning the game. The overall object is to achieve the highest score in 13 hands. Each hand consists of a roll of five dice, a second re-roll, and then a third re-rolls. As the hands are each finished you take the score that you get and record it on a special score card that has an Upper Section and a Lower Section. Each combination of rolls gives the player a certain number of points, and depending on what you rolled, the score will be noted either in the Upper Section or the Lower Section.
The Upper Section is made up of boxes of numbers. You have your Ones, Twos, Threes, Fours, Fives, and Sixes, as well as a bonus box. Your goal is to fill in as much of these numbers as possible. For example, you want to get as many Sixes as possible to get the highest score. If you get 63 points in total you get a 35 point bonus. The Lower Section is made up of 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, Full House, Small Straight, Large Straight, Yahtzee and Chance. Each one has a certain number of points attached to it.

CCNP Certification / BCMSN Exam Tutorial: Server Load Balancing (SLB)
When you’re working on your BCMSN exam on your way to CCNP certification, you’ll read at length about how Cisco routers and multilayer switches can work to provide router redundancy – but there’s another helpful service, Server Load Balancing, that does the same for servers. While HSRP, VRRP, and CLBP all represent multiple physical routers to hosts as a single virtual router, SLB represents multiple physical servers to hosts as a single virtual server.
In the following example, three physical servers have been placed into the SRB group ServFarm. They’re represented to the hosts as the virtual server 210.1.1.14.
The hosts will seek to communicate with the server at 210.1.1.14, not knowing that they’re actually communicating with the routers in ServFarm. This allows quick cutover if one of the physical servers goes down, and also serves to hide the actual IP addresses of the servers in ServFarm.
The basic operations of SLB involves creating the server farm, followed by creating the virtual server. We’ll first add 210.1.1.11 to the server farm:
MLS(config)# ip slb serverfarm ServFarm
MLS(config-slb-sfarm)# real 210.1.1.11
MLS(config-slb-real)# inservice
The first command creates the server farm, with the real command specifying the IP address of the real server. The inservice command is required by SLB to consider the server as ready to handle the server farm’s workload. The real and inservice commands should be repeated for each server in the server farm.
