Dice are not completely random, you can create your own luck

Simple as seahorses or complexes like Dungeons and Dragons also play based on the randomness of the horses. It is the 4-sided, 6-sided or even 20-sided blocks that give different numbers to each pour that make the replay value of these games endless.

Dice to add random elements to the above games, and we also believe that the other dice blocks give completely random results.

However, a study using prototype prototypes along with a high-speed video camera shows us dice of all sizes and shapes that are not completely random as expected.

Extremely hard to predict the outcome of a dice.

The results show that it is easier to get a number 1 when throwing a dice with face 1, they have tried many types of dice to get this result. But it is also difficult to get accurate results, because it is extremely difficult to predict the outcome of a dice: you have to calculate throwing and throwing conditions ; everything must be accurate so the results are truly random.

Scientists have long been debating this red-black issue. In 2012, researchers from many countries created a sample of dice in a three-dimensional space. They take into account the influence of gravity, air resistance, friction between dice and the table and many other factors that can affect a dice dump. With high-speed cameras, they also observed the fall of the dice in the air at a rate of 1,500 frames per second.

They concluded that the most influential factor on a roll of dice is as follows.

"That is the initial position of the dice, " Tomasz Kapitaniak from the University of Lodz, Poland, told Inside Science magazine. Only a small position change can affect the outcome of rolling dice. Other factors are not as important. "Can ignore the resistance of the air".

However, he added that "friction is also important".

A soft and smooth table, without too much friction will make the dice bounce less

With a large friction table, the dice don't roll easily, it bounces a few times, making the results more difficult to predict. A soft and smooth table, without too much friction will make the dice bounce less.

Even the dice bouncing up and down sometimes don't affect the results of launching too much. Videos recorded with high-speed cameras often show that dice do not spin miscellaneous to other faces too much after a bounce.

So can dice players use science to create their own luck? Can they keep their faces up to get the perfect result?

"I don't know how to apply this knowledge to casinos," Professor Kapitaniak wrote in his scientific report. Players will have to grasp exactly all the elements and prerequisites, be sure to know your dice position, to be able to guess the result with high accuracy.

The dice bouncing up and down often do not affect the results of launching too much.

On the other hand, it is not possible to achieve 100% randomness in every dice dump. Although casinos often punch the number of dots on the faces, pouring into certain material so that the faces of the dice have a similar appearance rate in each roll of dice.

"This will make the dice more balanced but only the balance is not enough" to make the dice completely random. "The top is always able to appear higher."

If not coincidentally, is the roll of dice a mess? Can you imagine the butterfly effect, a small difference in starting conditions that will cause the final result to change dramatically? The most typical example is a butterfly flap that can cause a major storm.

According to researcher Kapitaniak, the roll of dice can only be chaotic when it bounces with endless times. But we can never do that, because dice will lose energy with each jump, thanks to friction.

Along with high-speed footage and a new approach to the problem, this scientific report gives us new data to study the true randomness of rolling dice. It gives us a better understanding of real randomness in everyday life.

Speaking of everyday life: tonight, you can try to change your luck by turning up the number of dice you want to go on and then watch. It is this small act that can give you what you want.
