Title: Strange dice
Post by NickH on Jan 25^th, 2003, 9:21am

What is notable about the following non-standard dice?

{1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4} and {1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}

Show that there are no other "notable" (cubical) dice pairs <edit> where each face has a positive number of spots </edit>.

[hide]It still has the same probability of generating the numbers 2-12, as a set of standard dice.[/hide]

Well, I think the set of dice {1,2,3,4,5,6} {1,2,3,4,5,6} seems pretty notable to me.... ;D
