In Response To: random vs. non-random rolls (Timothy Chow)

I used to do a related routine for kids I babysat for. Mine was with three each red, white, and blue marbles, and three cups--I'd act as though I was putting all three reds in the first cup, all the whites in the second, and all the blues in the third. When I'd dump them out, each cup would have one of each. I wasn't any more dexterous then than I am now, but not one five- or six-year-old ever figured it out!
