  2. Intransitive dice - Wikipedia

    Die C has sides 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7. The probability that A rolls a higher number than B, the probability that B rolls higher than C, and the probability that C rolls higher than A are all ⁠ 5 / 9 ⁠, so this set of dice is intransitive. In fact, it has the even stronger property that, for each die in the set, there is another die that rolls a ...

    For instance, 4d6−L means a roll of 4 six-sided dice, dropping the lowest result. This application skews the probability curve towards the higher numbers, as a result a roll of 3 can only occur when all four dice come up 1 (probability ⁠ 1 / 1,296 ⁠), while a roll of 18 results if any three dice are 6 (probability ⁠ 21 / 1,296 ...

    Shadowrun (1989), designed by Bob Charrette, Paul Hume, and Tom Dowd, used a comparative dice pool, in which players roll a set of six-sided dice and each die rolled was compared to a target number to determine if that die was a success or a failure, with the number of successes determining the outcome of the action taken.

    Five dice showing 41,256, which denotes "monogram" on an updated EFF cryptographic word list. Diceware is a method for creating passphrases, passwords, and other cryptographic variables using ordinary dice as a hardware random number generator. For each word in the passphrase, five rolls of a six-sided die are required.

  6. Sicherman dice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicherman_dice

    The Sicherman dice are crazy dice that are re-labeled with only positive integers. (If the integers need not be positive, to get the same probability distribution, the number on each face of one die can be decreased by k and that of the other die increased by k, for any natural number k, giving infinitely many solutions.)

    A very common notation, considered a standard, expresses a dice roll as nds or nDs, where n is the number of dice rolled and s is the number of sides on each die; if only one die is rolled, n is normally not shown. For example, d4 denotes one four-sided die; 6d8 means the player should roll six eight-sided dice and sum the results.

    After the first roll the player can save any dice they want and re-roll the other dice. This procedure is repeated after the second roll. The player has complete choice as to which dice to roll. It is possible to re-roll any dice that were or were not rolled before. [4] The Yahtzee scorecard contains 13 different category boxes.

    Cee-lo is a gambling game played with three six-sided dice.There is not one standard set of rules, but there are some constants that hold true to all sets of rules. The name comes from the Chinese Sì-Wŭ-Liù (四五六), meaning "four-five-six" according to Dylan Ruda.
