[q" Also remember that the odds do not improve by countdown. With each toss of the 27-sided dice you do not eliminate or decrease the odds. The odds remain the same after each and every toss; the odds represent the positive possibilities."

My point was that the chances are no better on the second try than on the first. Having two tries with the same chance on each try does not improve the odds. All you're doing is taking another shot at the same odds, thinking you've got two chances in 1 with some fifty odd zeros behind it, instead of one chance is 1 with fifty odd zeros behind it done twice.
