Sicherman Dice in Google CP Solver.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicherman_dice
""
Sicherman dice are the only pair of 6-sided dice which are not normal dice,
bear only positive integers, and have the same probability distribution for
the sum as normal dice.
The faces on the dice are numbered 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4 and 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8.
""
I read about this problem in a book/column by Martin Gardner long
time ago, and got inspired to model it now by the WolframBlog post
"Sicherman Dice": http://blog.wolfram.com/2010/07/13/sicherman-dice/
This model gets the two different ways, first the standard way and
then the Sicherman dice:
x1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
x2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
----------
x1 = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4]
x2 = [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8]
Extra: If we also allow 0 (zero) as a valid value then the
following two solutions are also valid:
x1 = [0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3]
x2 = [2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9]
----------
x1 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
x2 = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
These two extra cases are mentioned here:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SichermanDice.html
