Renumbered Dice (Posted on 2004-07-20) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Two standard dice are renumbered so that each die is different, but together the pair still gives the same probabilities for rolling sums of 2 to 12 as a standard pair.

If each die is numbered with integers all greater than 0, then what are the numbers on the renumbered dice?

Solution add/subtract | Comment 1 of 7
a: 0 1 2 3 4 5
b: 2 3 4 5 6 7

rem: the only non-negative integer solution.
By adding a number N on one die and subtracting it on the other the sum remains constant.
But only N=1 does not cause negative numbers/
