What is the limit?
lim(n→∞)[1-((n-1)/n)^n]
It is the probability of at least one success from n trials (with replacement) with a 1/n chance of success.
Having just had a quick look at it, I haven't figured it yet. But numerically, it appears to be around 0.632, if it exists.
Knock yourself out Steve & Ben!
