[OT] How many in a gross?

[Dextra]

I have before me a catalogue with a picture of a product.
The product box says that there is 1 GROSS of the little things I need in the box.
I need to know how many individual little things are in 1 gross.


Errrr....
This is me trying to keep this on topic.

Err.
So it's umm, a box of dice! Yeah! DICE!
There's 1 Gross of Dice in this box.
How many dice do I get in the box?

Please help!

144 little diceys.

It's been said, but a gross is a dozen dozen.

 

[Teflon Billy]

Just adding confirmation. I dozen dozen or 144.

I think you're getting lots of answers 'cause it's fun to say. "I've got a gross of die. They're for rolling damage." A gross. What a nifty number.

 

[Maraxle]

Actually, it's 12 dozen.

 

[CrazyMage]

Why should you never mention 288 in polite company?
Because it's two gross!!
Haha, haha, ha, heh...hem, hem...

I'll leave now.

And a great gross is a dozen gross, or 1728.
