A couple of months ago, I posted a simple simulation of a loaded dice game posted by Lifehacker (originally from DataGenetics). Today I wanted to take a chance to give everyone a chance to actually play the game.

The rules are simple. There are three six-sided dice available:

Red: 2, 2, 4, 4, 9, 9 Green: 1, 1, 6, 6, 8, 8 Blue: 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7

You choose one die and then I’ll choose one. We’ll each roll our die twenty times; for each roll, whoever comes out ahead scores a point. If you get ten or more points, you win (so you win ties). If you don’t make ten, I win.

Simple enough, yes? Let’s try it. Pick a die below to begin.

In all likelihood (61% of the time to be exact) I’m going to win. It doesn’t matter which die you pick, there is no “best” die. I can always pick the one that has an edge over you. If you’re curious to learn why, check out the post on previous post on the subject.
