I even saw a 100-sided die one time. It looked a lot like a large golf ball. Took forever to stop rolling.
Jon </snip> Dude! You never played Dungeons & Dragons? Two 20-sided dice (icosahedra) give you a number between 00 and 99 with an even probability distribution. Picture at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron. Octahedra and dodecahedra (12-sided) are used as well. We even occasionally used the more famous hexahedron. I thought all computer geeks played D&D .... :-) </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
