[QUOTE="Zander, post: 471200, member: 1364"] I was going to auction a D24 on Ebay, which probably would have netted me a fair amount, but I promised Lou Zocchi that I would help promote his dice. So the answer is you can get the D24's, the D10 marked 1 to 5 twice and the transparent D5's from Lou Zocchi at: Gamescience 7604 Newton Dr, RR9 N. Biloxi MS 39532 - 2830 USA Tel. 228-392-4177 [B]When you contact him, please mention that Alexander Simkin, the British dice collector, told you where to find these dice. That goes for anyone else who contacts him too. Thanks. ;)[/B] The silver-coloured metal D2's were a promotional item for [URL=http://www.lrgames.com]Living Room Games[/URL]. The wooden D2's say [url]www.pudnorts.com[/url] on them, but I can't find their site. I got both the silver metal and wooden D2's at UK GenCon. The golden D2 is from the NFL edition of Monopoly. The white plastic D2's are from a set called Binary Dice invented by Swedish games designer Dan Glimne. The skull dice came from an OOP German game called Calva D'Os. Hope that helps. Unfortunately, I don't have a reference. And I don't know whether he used Chi-square or not. He may have used an empirical basis of comparison such as an ordinary D6 or, even better, a casino die. If he did use a theoretical standard such as Chi-square, a large number of replications would not have been a problem. From what I understand, he can set his machine to run by itself. I don't know how many rolls he had the machine do, but it might have been in the tens of thousands or even the hundreds of thousands - in which case he could have used a Chi-square test. [/QUOTE]
