Brain Teasers
While Sitting
While watching a movie, a rather rough guy says to you, "I bet you a large popcorn that at least 9 times out of 10, I can guess the bottom number of a regular die if you give me the top number."
Should you choose to accept, or decline?
Should you choose to accept, or decline?
Answer
You should decline. The opposite numbers on a die always add up to 7, so it would be very easy to get the bottom number knowing the top one.Hide Answer Show Answer

I knew that! But even if I didn't I think it is never wise to bet against a "rather rough guy".
good point electron.
gotta ask, why does the guy say 9/10 times? does his math fail him 10% of the time? haha.
obviously, lessthanjake, he's trying toget you to gamble in a no-win situation
i once found a die that does not follow this rule, but i misplaced it. darn...
nice teaser. i already knew that, but i'd rate it a difficulty of 1/2 because you may or may not know that opposite sides = 7.
