Miwin's dice that does not begin with 1 or 0, simply add a constant value to bring it into that range (to obtain random numbers between 8 and 16, inclusive, follow the 1 – 9 instructions below, and add 7 to the result of each roll). Governing probability: P(0) = P(1) = ... = P(90) = 8/9³ = 8/729 To obtain an equal distribution with numbers from 0 – 90, all three dice are rolled, one at a time, in a random order. The result is calculated based on the following rules: Sample: This gives 91 numbers, from 0 – 90 with
Sicherman dice American". The numbers can be arranged so that all pairs of numbers on opposing sides sum to equal numbers, 5 for the first and 9 for the second. Later, in a letter to Sicherman, Gardner mentioned that a magician he knew had anticipated Sicherman's discovery. For generalizations of the Sicherman dice to more than two dice and noncubical dice, see Broline (1979), Gallian and Rusin (1979), Brunson and Swift (1997/1998), and Fowler and Swift (1999). Let a "canonical" "n"-sided die be an "n"-hedron whose faces are marked with the integers [1,n] such that the probability of throwing each number is
