HI Leland. ok sorry, I understand your point. You want to measure the combined values and I was refering to a single dice. No problem :) Either way I hope you guys all win!

>If you rolled an honest pair of dice 1000 times, and recorded the number of time each number was hit, you could then graph the result with the numbers 1 through 12 going across the botton horizonally, and the occurrences going up the graph vertically. When the results are plotted, you should find that you have a perfect bell curse. Of course shake eyes and box cars would be at the two extremes of the graph with the lowest number of occurrences
