This task is awesome. I'm in a board game CLUB at my school, so I will definitely do this task... if I can obtain a camera.

Haha.

I once taught at a science camp where one of the activities we did involved playing a game with dice that was intended to demonstrate something about probabilities. This involved a wooden die, labeled in sharpie - which, naturally, the kids doubted the fairness of.

My response? "I knew somebody was going to ask that, and I confess I wasn't entirely sure myself. So before camp this morning I rolled it a hundred times and did the math; it's a fair die. If you don't believe me you can help me do it again, but if so it's happening during your recess time. And there's some complicated math involved."

Nobody asked for any more convincing.

I was just thinking something along these lines. Isn't it strange that we arbitrarily still use numbers to code for phone ... well ... numbers. Wouldn’t it be just as easy to have a joystick and tell people ”Yeah, call me at ‘square circle double down triangle’”? The implications are limitless.

Or how about distributing phone ‘addresses’ by only drawing the association of locations of numbers on a keypad. Mine, with area code, would look like this:

Anyone want to do a couple of tasks at once? +1

I had an idea for a derive game based on dice. You put arrows on the dice, wander around, and when you want to change direction roll. Whichever way the dice point, that's where you go. Anyone up for a stroll?
