Dice and clock
It's time for some math magic! Roll the dice and I'll guess!
Roll the dice and move around the clock. With just two pieces of information, I’ll find the value of the first die. But how did I do it?
Now it’s your turn to become the magician once you’ve figured out the trick. You’ll need to work on your mathematical reasoning in a context that may seem complex. However, the solution is within reach! You can try several examples by rolling the dice multiple times.
