I quickly hit on the correct theory based on the name of the game, but dismissed it, because the secret rule does not correctly match the name. The problem is pointed out on Wikipedia [1].

- soperj 11y agothat's all well and good, but why rot13 your post? nm, for spoilers. Makes sense.
- carussell 11y agoWhat defect is that supposed to introduce? If you get a different result when you ignore the 1-face dice on a roll compared to when you don't ignore them, then the algorithm as you understand it doesn't match the algorithm that's the key to the game. In other words, you misunderstand how the solution works and haven't actually figured it out.
- dpark 11y agoI rewrote this section to hopefully be clearer, but carussell is correct that if you think the secret rule doesn't match the name then you don't understand the secret rule. Also, Wikipedia is a wiki. Anyone could have made this edit. I don't understand why people take the time to write on the Talk page about noncontroversial fixes but then leave the article untouched.
- brazzledazzle 11y agoI think you and the anonymous Wikipedia user have both missed the point. The rot13'd comment in reply to your's covers it.
