It's pretty outrageous that anyone would try to patent rolling barcoded
dice to generate random numbers.
I've been generating random strings from dice for years. I find that
gamers' 20-sided dice are great; each roll gives you a hex digit, and
anytime you roll a 17 thru 20, you just roll again. One die will do;
you just roll it as many times as you need hex digits.
Presumably pointing a camera at ordinary dice could automate the data
collection -- hey, wait, let me get my patent lawyer!
