I played the match against qualifier. The last visible position that I had was: I had 4 chips on number two, he one chip on number 1 and a lot of them on another positions. The worse scenario is is that I played dices 2 and 1 (what I did not see!!) and that he eat it up on number one. My next visible position was that he had 10 of 12 chips out and I 3 chips in his house. How is it possible? I know that in theory it could happen, but if you do not see, is difficult to trust. It means that I throw number 1 three times (each time entering his house at the same time) and that he three times has eaten me......? It is just the game, and all honor to qualifier, but .........could you explain how the dices programming works?

This question has come up on our site before, and is frequently asked at other websites as well. Here's the thread from our forums as well as a FAQ we wrote to help explain how the statistics of dice work.
