In Response To: Why I Hate the Meyer Dice Tube (Chuck Bower)

Ultimate randomness is not the primary stochastic issue. The issue is whether or not there are any patterns of repetition from one "roll" to the next.

For example, if the dice are random over 1,000,000 selections, that's good. But, if the odds of a particular die repeating a 1 have probability > 16.67% that's still a problem. To my knowledge, this has not been tested.
