Assume that you have a Dx, and you need a Dy, where y < x.

I've seen assertions, and experimentation _seems_ to bear it out, that if
you roll Dx, and the result is greater than y, you ignore and reroll until
you get y or less, this will give the same probabilities as rolling a Dy.

Can someone point me to a proof/explanation of this?
