Suppose we have the following two dice:

  • a fair, five-sided die with numbers D 5 = [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ] D_5 = [1,2,3, 4, 5]
  • a fair, six-sided die with numbers D 6 = [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ] D_6 = [1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6] .

Does there exist a different pair of dice with 5 and 6 sides, such that the probability distribution of their sum is the same as rolling D 5 D_5 and D 6 D_6 ?
