Re: My banning - clearing things up
No, I'm thinking about how you render the numbers - having a "6" means it isn't base 6 (unless you are prepared to redefine 6). Having a set of 6 possible outcomes just means you have a restricted set of outcomes. The context was that the "die in a die" was said to produce two digits in the range 1...

Re: My banning - clearing things up
Base 10 uses the digits 0-9, base 7 would use 0-6, base 6 would use 0-5. A 6 sided dice could have this latter numbering system (and so be base 6), but the picture shows one face with 6 dots which would suggest base 7. Incidentally, on closer inspection, where are the numbers on the outer die? you ...
