  • Had to do some searching... but, I think I found your answer. The trick is actually that you can have someone roll the five dice and quickly come up with the sum of the numbers. Let's say the five dice are labeled 186-285-384-483-681-780, 179-278-377-773-872-971, 168-366-564-663-762-960, 459-558-657-756-855-954, 147-345-543-642-741-840 The trick is to add up the last digits on each die. These are the last two digits (pad with 0 if necessary). Subtract this number from 50. These are the first two digits. Putting the two together yields the total. And for our roll we get 186, 377, 960, 459, 147 6+7+0+9+7 = 29, 50-29=21, so the total is 2129. 186+377+960+459+147 = 2129 I'm not sure if your dice will follow the same pattern, but it's all mathematical. You can see from the numbers above that the ten's digit is the same on all faces of the die. You can also see that the hundreds digit + first digit is also the same on all faces of the die. I found this information at: http://www.mathpuzzle.com/dicetrick.txt Hope that helps!
