Chessex "Cheat Dice":
d20: has two 20's
d10: has 2 0's
d6: has no number 1
d6: has no number 6
Pretty awful that a company would do this, in my opinion.
There may be more to the story here.
These dice are not so much designed to cheat (but obviously you can if you choose to,)
but ALLOW YOU TO ROLE DIFFERENT PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS.
Here is a cool article on the mathematics of dice (written by a sixth grader in England): http://plus.maths.org/issue41/features/hobbs/index.html
Sicherman Dice article :
die 1 has faces: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4
die 2 has faces: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8
Yet, together they roll the *SAME* distribution as two "normal" d6!
Chessex rules!
