A fair die is rolled until win or loss occurs:

For k=1 to 5: if a 6 occurs on the kth roll you win N dollars and game ends; if a number
For k>5: if a 6 occurs on the kth roll you win N dollars and the game ends; if a number<5 occurs you lose $10 and the game ends; if a 5 occurs you roll again.

what value should N have for this game to be fair?
