Most players don't get this news. Most get the news that the winning ticket has been sold elsewhere.
Well, once you bring infinities into it, things get screwy; there's really no sense in which "more" people rolled "not-six" than rolled "six".
Now, if you play it many times, do you think you will dice 6 in 50% or in about 17% of the cases?
Considering all the other ways that infinities make things crazy, I think that 50% might actually be the right answer, but I can't prove this.

So, the angel pairing makes you dice 6 in one half of all the cases. Without this, only in the every day 17%?
Does this also holds for the 1000000 sides dice?
(I also think that infinities make things crazy. But just too crazy, inconsistent in fact.)
I saw this conundrum at Alexander Pruss's blog and I thought LWers might enjoy discussing it:
