Crazy dice is a mathematical exercise in elementary combinatorics, involving a re-labeling of the faces of a pair of six-sided dice to reproduce the same frequency of sums as the standard labeling. The Sicherman dice are crazy dice that are re-labeled with only positive integers .
The sum of the numbers on opposite faces is usually 9 (if numbered 0–9) or 11 (if numbered 1–10). 12: Dodecahedron: Each face is a regular pentagon. The sum of the numbers on opposite faces is usually 13. 20: Icosahedron: Faces are equilateral triangles. Icosahedra have been found dating to Roman/Ptolemaic times, but it is not known if they ...
Miwin's Dice are a set of nontransitive dice invented in 1975 by the physicist Michael Winkelmann. They consist of three different dice with faces bearing numbers from one to nine; opposite faces sum to nine, ten or eleven.
An example of intransitive dice (opposite sides have the same value as those shown). Consider the following set of dice. Die A has sides 2, 2, 4, 4, 9, 9.; Die B has sides 1, 1, 6, 6, 8, 8.
A is the number of dice to be rolled (usually omitted if 1). X is the number of faces of each die. The faces are numbered from 1 to X, with the assumption that the die generates a random integer in that range, with uniform probability. For example, if a game calls for a roll of d4 or 1d4, it means "roll one 4-sided die."
The pips on the top faces of these dice can be quickly counted as totalling 9. On dice, pips are small dots on each face of a die. These pips are typically arranged in patterns denoting the numbers one through n, where n is the number of faces. For the common six-sided die, the sum of the pips on opposing faces traditionally adds up to seven.
Opposite faces of both dice display θu and huθ, zal and maχ, and ci and śa. It is universally agreed, based on other inscriptions, that θu, zal, ci and maχ are 'one', 'two', 'three' and 'five'. Huθ and śa must therefore be 'four' and 'six', but it is debated which is which.
A graph of the opposite faces of the cubes, the line styles corresponding to the cubes in the image of their nets above. Given the already colored cubes and the four distinct colors are (Red, Green, Blue, White), we will try to generate a graph which gives a clear picture of all the positions of colors in all the cubes.
