OK, guess I'm mathematically challenged, then. Of course she has to
roll again, at least once more (and possibly twice if #3 is a one),
as the 8 is still less than the 10 you're saying she requires.

But she's bound to get at least 1 on each subsequent roll, so no
matter what happens she wins. Accordingly, as the OP indicated,
there's no need to bother.

Perhaps his dice have a zero on one side :-)

One possibility. Or she might have to match some number from 1 to 6 that
someone else pulled out of a hat, or there are many other scenearios that
might be in the game. If all she has to do is get the number that comes up
on the die, then she has already won after two rolls.
