Dice
Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
A die is sitting on a table, and you can only see three of the six sides. The top shows the number one, the left side shows the number five, and the right side shows the number four. Without moving anything (you must remain in this relative position to the die) what is on the opposite side of each number?
HintIt is a normal die, six sides, black dots on each face, and the numbers are 1-6.

Answer
Six is across from one.
Two is across from five.
Three is across from four.
The opposite sides of a die add up to seven. If you don't believe me, go check it out.

| What's to get, Happy? Opposing sides of a die always total 7 - the one pairs with the six, the two with the five, and the three with the four - that's just the way dice work. |

| Cool fact. Never knew that. So, if you're initially shooting craps, you're betting on your ability to roll dice so opposite sides come up (7). Mathematical probabilities based on #7? |
