Sorry for the late Weekly Geekly Update, but we had friends visiting from out of state and were visiting many of the beautiful locals in Western Idaho like the falls at 1,000 Springs Park pictured above.
Weezer made an instant classic with Blue. The cover is so iconic that they've used the same format multiple times. They're take on garage rock infused with Beach Boys harmonies are great along with their timeless lyrics about love and life. A timeless album.
Here's what I wonder about dice and probability: to what extent is any given individual's throwing style a true randomizer? Consciously or otherwise, could a given arm be more likely to develop throwing patterns? Instinctively, I don't necessarily feel it's as genuinely random as a random number generator. Do you know of any research on that?
The construction of Craps tables, in the casino, ensure a random result. The spiked lining on the sidewalls, and the requirement that you bounce off of them, randomizes the roll.
Certainly, there are possibilities of patterns that might deviate from the statistical norm, but I imagine that would be a difficult skill to master. But if you want to know, you can always throw a die 1,000 times and record the results. I doubt any individual's rolls are "perfectly" random, but they are probably sufficiently so.
