==Use== Dice are thrown onto a surface either from the hand or from a container designed for this (such as a cup, tray, or [[Dice tower|tower]]). The face (or corner, in cases such as tetrahedral dice, or edge, for odd-numbered [[long dice]]) of the die that is uppermost when it comes to rest provides the value of the throw. The result of a die roll is determined by the way it is thrown, according to the laws of [[classical mechanics]] (although [[luck]] is often credited for the results of a roll). A die roll is made [[Randomness|random]] by uncertainty in minor factors such as tiny movements in the thrower's hand; they are thus a crude form of [[hardware random number generator]].
