A fair number cube, commonly referred to as a fair die, is a six-sided object used in games of chance that has an equal probability of landing on any one of its faces. Each face of the cube is numbered from 1 to 6, and when rolled, each number has a 1 in 6 chance of appearing.
The key aspect that makes a number cube ‘fair’ is that it is symmetrical and balanced. This means there are no weighted sides or biases that could affect the outcome of a roll. Fair number cubes are essential in games and experiments that rely on random number generation, ensuring that every outcome is equally likely and hence, fair for all participants.
