Standard dice have opposite sides that always add up to seven, numbered from one to six. Number placement is arranged in a specific order. Loaded dice are tampered with to cheat, and not all dice are cubes. The oldest known dice set is 5,000 years old.
A unique feature of standard dice or cubes is that opposite sides always add up to seven. Standard dice are numbered from one to six. Number placement is arranged starting with the first three numbers visible from an angle. For example, if the number one is at the top, the number two will be visible below it, and the number three will also be visible next to the number two. For Western dice, the first three numbers are arranged counterclockwise, and Chinese dice are usually arranged clockwise. Regardless of the method used, all other numbers are still arranged so that opposite sides add up to seven.
