Some guys on the the BJ21 page rented a professional slow-motion movie camera. Even with the softest roll, dice bounced chaotically with no hope of preserving any of the original orientation.

Nevertheless, people continued to practice throwing dice. I saw AxelWolf's table at April's house. April's husband practiced assiduously on that table. He also had a little box to practice while travelling. April's husband came by my house, and we set the box up in my basement. He backed up, threw the dice, and missed the whole box! He then complained that my basement floor was not level. That was probably true, but if you missed a 2-foot box, why would I suspect you can control dice to within millimeters?

On BJ21, young "Little Joe" reported rolling only 1/9 sevens at home, much less that the 1/7 by chance. Stanford teamed up with him, and Fezzik and I bet they could not roll a low number of sevens. During the challenge, Stanford rolling an average number of sevens, and Little Joe did well, winning a bit.

After this, a team flew Little Joe out and put him up in Vegas (with comps). They took him out to tables and Joe rolled too many sevens. Eventually, his cumulative monitored rolls were worse than chance, and the group gave up. Afterwards Joe complained the tables were too bouncy, too soft, too long, too short. He wanted another free vacation.
Great Story Kim Lee. God, I wish there was more of these kinds of stories on this forum and less of the anti-AP crew trying to demonize and drive away real players.

I will tell you the part I am still having trouble with. How Did Wong, a pure math guy, ever come to believe in DI? That is just shocking to me. And the follow up would be why did it take him so long to back away from it. Do you think he wanted all the Royalities from the DI books before he said, it didn't work?
