Add 3 Dice
Daniel (Age 10, Anglo-Chinese School, Singapore) pointed out a fact about the way the numbers are placed on dice. This is particularly important to remember if you don't have any real ones to work with.
I have put everyone's solutions together into a table so that it will be easy to check whether you have found a new one or not.
Kieran (Age 10) & Carl (Age 9, Moorgate C.P. School) - 1 solution
Christina (Age 11, Marlborough Primary School) - 1 solution
Caroline & Sarah (Year 7, The Mount School, York) - 4 solutions
Leah (Age 10) & Sophie Simpson (Age 11, Moorgate C.P. School) - 11 solutions
Edward (Age 10, Tattingstone School) - 14 solutions - Well done!!

During 2015 we had another solution sent in showing other numbers on the dice that would work, here it is.
