| PoorLee, wearing his crown. |
As some of you may have read on my and Lee's last batrep The Battle of Holland Farm, Reject PoorLee as he is now known, broke all the conceivable World records on throwing crap dice. He's actually proved Einstein talked a load of old cobblers! that Archimedes was a hack! And as for Newton? Forget about it!!!!
PoorLee decided to test himself, here, throwing 10x D6, 10x D10's and 10x D20's, jand then working out the average dice throw. They were quite dismal, he averaged
5.1 on a D20
3.3 on a D10
2.6 on a D6
I'm sure you'll all agree that is some real crap throwing??!!??
Anyway I popped round Posties the other night, (there was a double episode of EastEnders on) groannnnnnnnn!!!!
After he fell about laughing again, about PoorLee's dice during the game, I told him about PoorLee's dice test, so we decided to try PoorLee's Average dice test ourselves.
Here's our results
Postie
8.8 on a D20
6.6 on a D10
4.3 on a D6
And my results
11.1 on a D20
6.5 on a D10
3.9 on a D6
Our scores beat PoorLee's quite easily on all counts, but his sets of scores are so bad, can anyone throw worse???????
So the Challenge is set
Your Mission, should you choose to accept it is...
Not to beat PoorLee's, my or Posties throws but
see if your throws are worse.
Can you take the title from PoorLee?
To be crowned....
THE WORST DICE THROWER, EVER.....

| They're mine! Mine I say!!!! Mha ha ha ha !!!!!! |
Those are really bad throws. I'm at work - when I get home tonight, I'll dig out my dice and let you know the results.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your results Alex!
DeleteSorry, didn't get to it until this morning. Here are my results:
Delete12.2 on D20
6.5 on D10
3.3 on D6
Not great with the D6, but if Vegas was tossing D20's I'd have a shot!
My brushes my precious!!!!
ReplyDelete"Not fair! not fair!. It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in it's nassty little pocketsess?”
Delete"A set of Rosemarysess painting sticksess, that's what its got in its pocketsess!"
8.4 on the D20
ReplyDelete6.7 on the D10
3.2 on the D6
And that was throwing with my left hand, which is unluckier than my right! Sorry PoorLee, looks like the crown is yours.
And it's Friday the Thirteenth!
DeleteA good try Paul! I think its gonna be hard for Lee to lose his crown.
DeleteSorry pal but I got my name on them there brushes!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat!
DeleteMock me all you like, but I bet you'll laugh on the other side of your face when we next get paired up on the same side. In fact, I think I'll put in a request with Postie to make this a priority next time we have a game!
ReplyDeleteI've already spoken to Postie, your going to be on Fran's side forever,.
DeleteNo d10's handy But here are my results.
ReplyDeleteD20- 4,4,9,9,19,3,4,9,16,20 For an average of 9.7 (so below average.) Rolled in 2 lots of 5 dice.
D6 - 6,6,5,4,4,3,2,2,1,1, For an average of 3.4 (again just below average) Rolled with 10 dice in one roll.
So nothing special with me on the first attempt! I do not consider myself to be either particularly gifted in the luck department nor indeed deficient with the dice gods.
Pretty low rolls Clint, but I think his titles safe!!
DeleteI rolled a natural 20 and as many 6's as I got 1's. In my book that's a result!
DeleteThose are exceptionally horrible dice throws. Although there are some night where I think I could challenge those low scores.
ReplyDeleteMe too, when I first stared gaming, I was the same. I had to endure years of ridicule!
DeleteEinstein developed the theory of relativity and unless those dice are being tossed at the speed of light I think his theory stands. It's Bernoulli you'd be disproving and your sample size is just too small to toss the Theory of Large Numbers on it's ear.
ReplyDeleteThat said, have fun boys!!
Perhaps Ray was thinking of Bose-Einstein Statistics in terms or probability distribution? If so, Ray could be a lot smarter than he looks!
DeleteMy job at one time was based on Bernoulli's Theory of Large Numbers. The sample size is definitely to small. I wouldn't consider it valid until at see at least 100 dice being used. Get out the buckets!
DeleteWhat Warlord Paul said!
DeleteAnd remember this is just a bit of fun.
How about we cool the moving dice to absolute zero and see if they lose their individual identities and become a single, coherent mass.
DeleteRay, this is having fun:)
Those are bad throws, will carry out the test tonight. Oh and by the way I think I am winning those brushes
ReplyDeleteno your not!
DeleteI think it just shows that its all about technique rather than randomness. I'm sure it must be to do with the muscles in your right hand/wrist....... :o)
ReplyDeleteYou could be onto something here Simon?
DeleteI thought those were Lurker's?
ReplyDeleteNo no, he throws like most pretty average dice!
DeleteI just had to take on this challenge. Had some bad luck with the d20's and d10's but did okay with the d6's. I don't seem unlucky enough with the dice to take the crown from Poor Lee.
ReplyDeleteI'll count that as a good thing then!!
Deletehe is fit for a king, give him a realm to rule...
ReplyDeleteIts all his Dez, nobody really wants to take the title.
DeleteOK, here are my results:
ReplyDeleteD4: 3,1,2,1,1,3,1,2,1,2; average = 1.7
D6: 3,6,2,1,3,3,6,2,6,5; average = 3.7
D8: 8,2,6,1,8,2,5,2,8,2; average = 4.4
D10: 6,2,6,2,1,1,4,5,9,6; average = 4.2
D12: 3,6,1,7,6,11,9,11,11,10; average = 7.5
D20: 20,12,17,14,9,7,3,18,13,14; average = 12.7
So, some a little above statistical average and some a bit below. However, given the low n number the stats need to be treated with a very healthy dose of salts.
I'm bound to win the brushes because I don't have to roll any dice to win.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhhh! How sweet, he thinks he's got a chance to win my brushes!
DeleteHe's still an idiot!
DeleteUnfortunately the sample size is not significant, perhaps throwing about 100 dice would give a better sample size 9and it doesn't take that long - honest).
ReplyDeleteAs for my own efforts, I've always felt that I'm pretty lucky with dice and wouldn't want some random test deflating my dice-throwing ego !
Stupid American rules where ones are good and sixes are bad really throws me though.
The thing is he didn't really need to test himself, he already knew how bad his throwing is.
DeleteYou have your name on the brushes... So you are actually called Rosemary! :-P
ReplyDeleteTell me it's not true!!!!
DeleteWell I could deny it?........but I couldn't possibly comment!
DeleteI cannot agree, they be mine, mineeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteKeep your thieving mitts off my brushes!
ReplyDeleteNot enough trials to determine if BigLee is truly a "crap roller" (in a statistic sense).
ReplyDeleteRay, I have MY eye on the brushes...
Well get your eyes off then!!
Deleteooohhhh how hard is this......come on nobody is that bad at throwing dice...
ReplyDeleteOne advice. Build an altar for the dice gods. Use blessed water to clean them and send a prayer to heavens before rolling them......and if this does not help use them as hit dice...
I think he's tried al that kind of stuff already and nothing improved!
DeleteChallenge accepted! Although I don't feel that my luck comes even close to being that bad statistically.
ReplyDeleteDon't think anyone's could Sean!
DeleteLee looks very regal!
ReplyDeletedestroy those dice!
ReplyDeleteYou want people to admit they're that bad. What!?
ReplyDeleteRight Lucky Jim, here're the results of the Salford jury for the dice experiment. I've not put down all the individual scores cos I'm far too lazy for that, but I have included average dice (anyone remember them?) and D100:
ReplyDeleteAverage Dice: 3.7
D4: 2.4
D6: 3.5
D8: 5.1
D10: 5.2
D12: 6.1
D20: 12.9
D100: 43.1
I think the Average Dice (marked 2,3,3,4,4,5) score is pretty decent, but the rest aren't very impressive, but around the 50 - 60% mark. The D100 is pretty poor. However, very roughly the same sort of scores as as Tamsin's.
We really ought to run this over a larger set of results and with more rolls for each type of die, but is it really worth it? if we stay statistically ignorant, we can still blame rotten dice scores . . . . ;O)
I don't understand a thing about those dices, but those brushes are coming to Belgium! :-D
