Our local radio station is running a competition to win a brand new VW Polo car, by the throw of a dice ....sounds good eh? all one has to do is throw the dice to get a 6, 7 times in a row, what I'm wondering is what are the odds that this can be done? I mean 3 times would be hard but 7 Times??
I only hope the national papers are there to see if it can be done.

Well its all happening on 28th Nov. Soo we'll see................I'll keep you posted.
Thanks Chu-fi for the statistics.
The car's pretty safe.
279936 is worked out by 6x6x6x6x6x6x6. Pretty impossible.
I seem to remember a few years ago that the famous melton day in Leicestershire had a similiar comp and someone did win(not sure if that was a car though). I remember wasting a load of money though!

Any prize is usually covered by insurance. The radio station wouldn't be quaking in their boots. The odds are heavily stacked against.
