Peter has nine four-sided (pyramidal) dice, each with faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Colin has six six-sided (cubic) dice, each with faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Peter and Colin roll their dice and compare totals: the highest total wins. The result is a draw if the totals are equal.
