Dice are different (ExH). In Mindscape 14 you probably used ideas similar to those in the analogous text example on coin tosses. Yet how are the two experi ments different? What qualities might you look for (or look for the absence of) in a sequence of alleged random die tosses that would not apply in the case of coin tosses? In particular, can you tell which of the sequences below was generated by rolling an actual die and which was created by a person writing down what they think of as random digits (before reading this text)?
