Six Million Ways to Die was created in 1996.

YES!! If you hold your temples long enough you will pass out and die
Two ways a die could be tested for fairness are empirical and analytic. In the empirical method, you throw the die a large number of times and measure the distribution of the results - they should be evenly distributed within whatever level of tolerance (based on number of trials) that you want. In the analytic method, you measure the dimensions of the die with extremely accurate equipment. This must include checks for physical symmetry and balance. Balance is checked with a balance beam that allows the die to be rotated about various axes to make sure the center of gravity is in the center of the die.
There are 3 ways an even number can show up on the first die. AND There are 3 ways an even number can show up on the second die. AND There are 3 ways an even number can show up on the third die. So since "AND" means "MULTIPLY", there are 3x3x3 or 27 ways the three dice can all come up even. So the numerator of the probability is 27. We calculate the denominator of the desired probability: There are 6 ways any number can show up on the first die AND There are 6 ways any number can show up on the second die AND There are 6 ways any number can show up on the third die So since "AND" means "MULTIPLY", there are 6x6x6 or 216 ways the three dice can all come up any number. So the denominator of the probability is 216.
