I firmly believe that my advice to criminals cannot fail. DON'T GET CAUGHT!!!

Sorry, the peeker cannot ALWAYS answer the question "at least one die is a 2" unless he sees both die. Hence, once he sees both die then he knows the exact answer already. The odds aren't 1:6...

regnis, do we agree that the peeker has MORE information about the 2 dice than the non-peeker?

When asked, "What is the probability that both dice are showing a 2?" the peeker knows which dice...

JB--As soon as you say one is an ace, the other cards in that suit are disqualified. If it is the ace of spades, there can't be 2 aces of spades, so the other spades are out. That only leaves the 6...

My cross to bear Alan. yet the beat goes on here.

I have a legitimate question. The guy that peeked under the cup and said one of them is a 2. Would you say that for him the odds that the other one is a 2 would be 1 of 6. And if so, then are you...

This is the question, the original question, that I answered. "your friend looks under the cup and says "at least one of the dice is a two. What is the probability that both dice are 2's?" This is...

The answer is 0, because the effin dice don't flip and the other die is a 1. The point being that once one die is a 2, that can't change. You have the necessary information to determine that the odds...

Here are 2 dice. One shows a 2. What are the odds the other is a 2?

I don't know--third base

Name calling and swearing etc. a clear sign of ignorance. Just sayin.

Answer to follow later

Alan--I guess you are going to have to change your line to "Alan simply can't get past a die having 12 sides".

The question couldn't be clearer. You say it's poorly written. Please explain why that is. And please don't count Alan in as a reasonable person.[/QUOTE]

First of all, your last sentence reminds...

During a dispute at the craps table I once made them call the gaming board agent on to the boat (in Illinois we originally had to have our casinos on big boats). After it became clear that he didn't...

Regnis, congratulations on your big Kentucky Derby score. But dare I ask, would your pile of losing tickets from over the years be big enough to fill a barn?[/QUOTE]

Thanks Mick. And I have large...

Count-you have sufficient info. They told you one die is a 2. That only leaves 6 other choices (i.e. 1 die). The one that shows a 2 can't change--at least not in an honest game.

But I think we...

To put the record straight.

1. I gambled for a living for many years.
2. I can and presently do make a ridiculous amount of money working with no chance of loss, and working only about 20 hours a...

I hate to start this argument over again, but jbjb, that is so stupid I don't even believe you believe it. If a 2 is showing on one die, the other spots on that die are out of the equation, leaving...

Not if you were using the dice I used to use in the game I ran in High School Alan.
