That works for a shuffled deck, but not for an unrolled die.

They sell unrolled dice in the stores, btw.

It's like I can't count on anyone at all.

Let's say I flip a coin, and hide the result from you. What are the odds of heads v tails?

Originally posted by @lemon-limeNo! It is, as a matter of fact, only one or else the other. Not half of each.
50/50
The coin was already flipped, the result had already occurred.

Originally posted by @apathistI see, so the odds are 100% of being one or the other.

Unless you know when you buy it, does it matter?
Incidentally, I have a special die that has never rolled a 6.
I was saving it for my next game of Risk but I'm open to offers.

If you are playing a game of Five Card-Draw with a friend out of a standard deck 52 card deck and you have the following hand (neglecting suits for this example) 3,3,3,5,7. You decide to discard the "5" and draw from the deck. What is the probability that you upgrade to Four of a Kind ( 3,3,3,3,7)?
I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around th ...[text shortened]... deck from which you can choose) effect the probability of you drawing the remaining "3" or not?

I bought one once at a boot-fair and its sixes were almost totally depleted.
