Rolls with similar odds

A different number of dice can land on much the same chance.

How to read this

  • Two dice do not land evenly. There are six ways to make 7 and only one way to make 2.
  • The more dice, the tighter the middle. With six dice almost everything lands near 21, while 6 or 36 turns up about once in 47,000 rolls.
  • The average sum is 3.5 per die, because one die averages 3.5.
  • Rare is not never — but nor is it due. Roll two dice thirty-six times and there is still roughly a 36% chance you never see a 2.
