So making the 2 "0.02"

That would require a second 0 between the 3 and 2. However, you could get the same result legally with 3*(.2+30).

I'll make a new one.

4 9-Sided Dice: (2, 9, 2, 6) = 19
Original Roll String: 1d91+9
1 91-Sided Dice: (15)+9 = 24

Yeah I didn't think it was legal, and stopped looking when I realised it wasn't going to get any closer.

Although the closest I've managed to get so far on the current one is 66.071 with √(0.5)-0.7+66.
oh wait I'm now at 66.008 with (0.5)^7+66. I'm going to try and work out if I can get it within two decimal places.

you can get arbitrarily close to 66 by taking repeated square roots of 5 and 7 (or of 12 if you prefer)...

but man, trying to get exactly 66 is difficult if not impossible :/

You'd have to do it with both the 5 & the 7 as they need to get down to 1. I forget that the square roots can be used multiple times. So let's do it.

√√√√√√√√√√√√5 (1.000196483) -
√√√√√√√√√√√√√√7 (1.000118775)
close enough as I'm going to lose count on button presses if I go any further. (obviously I'm not doing this manually)
+ 66

Original Roll String: 4d9
4 9-Sided Dice: (5, 8, 7, 8) = 28

Original Roll String: 1d91+9
1 91-Sided Dice: (29)+9 = 38

Actually, the previous one's pretty easy: 57 + 6/.6r = 66

Don't see a solution to Cheery Dog's yet though.

This game is hard enough without having them in order! :P
I don't think this one's possible.
