Here are the results of 10 consecutive trials (Mathematica 7, Windows 
Vista).

10,14,{0,1,2,3,4,4,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10}
10,15,{0,1,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10}
0,1,{0}
10,15,{0,1,2,3,4,5,5,5,5,6,7,8,9,10,10}
0,1,{0}
10,14,{0,1,2,3,3,4,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10}
0,1,{0}
10,12,{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10}
0,1,{0}
10,14,{0,1,2,2,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10}
