You are of course absolutley correct, the error was all mine, thanks to those who helped, apologies to any I may have offended, it was, as you say a simple task, but I could not see the forest for all the trees in the way.
I am not too big to admit my error, once again, thanks to all.

What is wrong with EvilSob suggestion?
I stumbled upon this method when I waas writing a dice game for Blitz3D.
I used a modeling software (TrueSpace if you need to know) to model a die, and I wanted the numbers to be mapped correctly by face. When I've done that, I found out that if you take the numbers on opposite sides, and add them together, you get seven. Ex. 1 + 6 = 7, 2 + 5 = 7, 3 + 4 = 7.

If you have a die handy, look at it?

BTW physics fans, does anyone know the meaning of GOD DOES NOT PLAY DICE, and where does it come from? Someone who hired me wanted me to write a game based on that method, and I also came across it in a pc game DEAD CHAOS?


Prepare to be assimilated. Resistance is futile

Yes I was well aware that all sides added up to 7, but it was not the solution I was looking for, any way problem solved now... as for you other question....

God does not play dice is really a quote attributed to Einstein in reference to the randomness inherent in quantum mechanics. Einstein believed that quantum theory could not be true, simply because it implied there was a limit to how much a scientist could know about a particle. Everything else, therefore, appeared random to an observer (see Uncertainty Principle, Schrodinger's Cat.)

Einstein struggled through the last half of his life to eliminate this uncertainty, but he never could (no one else could eliminate it either, and since Einstein we have only realized more things that we can't know. see neutrino). Some say (read: Hawking, who is very hung up on comparing himself to Einstein, btw) that never conceding this fact was Einstein's greatest mistake.

All of this is quite ironic considering Einstein never believed in a science that he helped to found.
