Solution Counts For Homogeneous Sets These counts avoid equivalent sets where the dice are simply relabeled. In other words, these counts assume that in the string representation of a solution the first “a” appears before the first “b” which appears before the first “c”, and so on.

This page demonstrates a go first fair d840+7d60480 configuration (with LCM of 60480), found by Paul Meyer on Dec 15, 2025. This was constructed by concatenating the 7d10080 set 6 times, and then inducing a d840 around the repetitions. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggffffffffffffffffffabcdeedcbadcbeebcdaaaaecbddbceecbddbceaaaadcbeebcdabcdeedcbaaadcbeebcdabcdeedcbaaecdbbdceae…

This page demonstrates a go first fair 7d10080 configuration, found by Paul Meyer on Sept 17, 2024. This configuration was constructed as follows: 1. Repeat a fair 5d60 config 6 times to get a fair 5d360. 2. Induce a d20 around the repetitions and multiply it 18 times to get a fair 6d360.

The following d20+d120+4d360 configuration was found by Paul Meyer after the original 6d360 record, though the LCM is not improved. It is constructed by inducing a d20 around 6 repetitions of Paul's d20+4d60 configuration. fabcddcbaecbaddabcabcddcbaeedbaccabddbaccabdeecbaddabcabcddcbadbaccabddbaccabdecbaddabccbaddabcecbaddabcdbaccabdeeabcddcbaecbaddabceedbaccabdabcddcbacbaddabcabcddcbaeabcddcbadbaccabdeeabcddcbadbaccabdabcddcbaecbaddabcecbaddabcedbaccabdabcddcbaedbaccabdecbaddabcfffffabcddcbaec…

Solution Counts For Inhomogeneous Sets These are configuration counts for various inhomogeneous dice sets (as found via exhaustive computer search), either with mirror-symmetry or no such restriction (note that column-grouped and column-paired symmetry can only happen with homogeneous sets). These counts avoid equivalent sets where the dice are simply relabeled. In other words, these counts assume that, if a and b are equal sized dice, then in the string representation of a solution the first
