Does the force with which you throw a dice or the distance it travels have an effect on the probability of getting certain numbers?
@tuxcrafting
I dunno. I should test it, but I don't think human hands are good enough for it.
@matrix if the dice is perfectly equally weighted on all sides and the initial state is random, there's definitely no way to force a specific number to happen
@tuxcrafting
I just meant increase possibility on some numbers, but the most likely answer is that the dice I have are just shit.
@icedquinn
Just regular d6 from a board game. I tried it with a wooden one which has the dots painted on and a plastic one which has the dots cut out. I haven't counted it, but it was easier with both of them to get a 5 or 6 if I threw them with very little force and they traveled only few cms.
@matrix
idk, but it's because of this question basically that i've banned physics experts from playing board games in my house
stay mad, you cheating geniuses
@matrix My sister works in casino and she said, that it's possible to throw certain number (or better group of numbers) on roulette. So I'd say that it's certainly possible with dice, you just have to have the same starting position every time.
@matrix not really
