   This time, instead of a fair die, the probability of
   rolling a 1 is 50% (!).  The other five faces are all
   equally likely.

   __discrete_distribution works nicely here by allowing
   us to assign weights to each of the possible outcomes.

   you can initialize __discrete_distribution directly with
   the weights.]
