Found some time to look into the problem, gave up and applied brute force. You were right (partially). It seems that the answer is 29 (bit less, if you don't look at rolls as integers). Try to code it yourself, maybe I fucked something up. Tested on 10M sample groups, a couple of times, with different seeds, it gives ~50.4% probability.
Now you just have to come up with the correct formula
EDIT: "Right, so how many times do you flip a coin to get two heads in a row?" Tried it and the answer is 4. Didn't read your or Elwro's long posts, is this wrong? If it is, disregard the above post.
Are you missing a comma, or am I the faggot in your post? I like a challenge and this seemed a pretty straightforward problem. I guess I should have remembered that I suck at this part of mathematics. Too late now.
