It can be gum balls if you want. Or gummie bears. What fuck things up is infinities.
When you throw in infinities you can have things with a positive probability that still never come to fruition even after infinite number of trials.
An example of such is something in which the probability decreases after each trial. For instance suppose you start out with a 6 sided die. The goal is to roll a number that matches the number of sides on the die. However the twist is after each roll a new side is added to the die. This magical side growing die can be rolled an infinite number of times and never roll a number that matches the number of sides of the die.
