Well, a little micro mechanical device offsetting the internal balance could work, though the balance change would have to be pretty large to bump the probability of any one face up significantly.
- kej 9y agoI wonder if you'd get more performance with mechanical balance changes or a magnetic table surface and individual electromagnets on each die face.
- xori 9y agomaybe have a dense liquid in a die, and have something "float" internally. Like a ball bearing in Gak slime or mercury.
- jpfed 9y agoThis was the first place my thoughts went to. But a passive device like this seems like it would oppose the gambler's fallacy: after you roll, the weight distribution of the die shifts to be as energetically favorable as possible for that number. Now the die is weighted to roll another of that same number!
