Dice that beat each other
There are three dice, red, blue and green. But these are not ordinary dice. The number of pips on each side are as follows:
| Blue | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 6 |
| Red | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 1 |
| Green | 2 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
Imagine choosing two dice and throwing them a large number of times. Which dice will beat which dice over all? Which is the best dice of all?
- but don't click here until you've tried it for yourself. The solution is more fun, and makes more sense, after your own attempts.
