Eleven

Dice.  Nikon D7000
11th February 2013

I saw these dice sitting on the side today and noticed that they summed to '11'.   I thought I would try to be clever and have 11 on one side, and 2 on the other for the month.

After much twiddling with my dice, I remembered that the spots on opposite sides of a dice always add to 7, so if one dice was a 6, then there was no way I could make a number as low as 2 with the other visible side.

Ho hum, I will just have to try again another day which is a bit more conducive to dice stacking.

A question for the mathematical; which day (or days) of the year has the most ways you can stack the dice?
