This problem seems to have a certain "classical flavor" to it, and I'm sure work has been done on it, but I haven't been able to find anything on the problem. Can anyone point me toward any literature on estimating the odds for irregular dice, or on the physics of rolling objects? Thank you. -- Jan Wolter
