Does anyone else think those dice were loaded?

_All_ but two(?) of the throws came up for 4, 5, or 6 (the "more unpleasant" challenge). Anybody able to do the math on the odds of the results we saw?

If memory serves, in the Australian version they used a roulette wheel for a very similar version of this challenge.

I was thinking the die was weighted myself. While it is possible for it to happen, I think it unlikely. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a challenge.

I'm glad I'm not the only one paranoid enough to think that die was loaded. I was surprised it EVER landed on anything other than five!

Paranoia will destroy ya. If the die were actually "loaded", the same # would have come up every time. All other things being equal, the odds of a specific # comming up are the same on every toss, i.e. 1 in 6.

We don't know how many die he had. Could have been 4 or 5. Each player left the room after the role.

This may fall in the territory of rigging a game show. There is prize money involved. A gray area.

I think it was loaded! I recently saw a TV show about Las Vegas and they showed how people load dice. They gently drill the holes where the white dots are and insert tiny round pieces of platinum and/or gold then repaint the white dots. This is sufficient to weigh the dice on the side where the gold is...pretty interesting eh? I thought so anyways.

I've never seen more loaded dice my life.
