Jhd | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 11:21 am  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. |
Bigdaddydrool | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 11:23 am  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. |
Max | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 11:33 am  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!

Scribe | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 05:30 pm  Me too. No question the die was loadedddddd. Only 2 didn't come up as the ugly challenge and only one of those was for a really bad challeneg: Kate got die your hair and not shave your head.

Digilady | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 07:06 pm  Me three or four. Even my 80 year old dad with failing eyesight cought the dice trick. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 05:34 am  I would bet a weeks pay, Lances again, I am so sure the die was loaded. |
Rollerboy | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 08:58 am  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. |
Kitt | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 03:57 pm  not if they were different loaded dice each time ;-) |
Fruitbat | Saturday, January 27, 2001 - 04:26 am  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. |
Enb | Monday, January 29, 2001 - 06:53 pm  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.  |
