Ralph,
I am still finding the distribution is not 50:50 on the initial roll, but have
observed a significant change when I set the dice option to www.random.org.
I note something from my systems engineering: Nancy Leveson at MIT states it is
impossible to verify that software provides a safe outcome. Other human
factors / systems engineering researchers note the need to keep humans in the
decision loop for the same reason. Numerous anecdotal reports have also found
bias in complex software (if it does not pass Turing test, it is not AI).
Cheers
Wayne

Hi Wayne,

Over how big a sample of starting rolls is that 80% measured?
Also, see
http://www.gnubg.org/win32/gnubg/faq.html#I%20think%20this%20bot%20is%20cheating%20by%20rolling%20better%20dice
for a tip on changing the method of rolling dice.
