Absolutely not proof. But, I would be willing to place my bet!

But "dice" is plural - presumably 2.
Die is singular.
Do you think that Chuck's "1 in 5" probablity is correct?
(or did he mean "1 in 6" or "1 TO 5"?)
There is a little test jig that is sometimes used, that holds diagonal
corners of the die between centers, for a spin. If the die reverses
direction of rotation right before it settles to a stop, then it fails.
