07.09.17 - Guess a number and win a holiday to Greenland with gnuf.com

The people behind the betting and gambling site, gnuf.com, were in Greenland this spring to carry out a crazy record attempt that has never been attempted before: To roll two huge dice each weighing half a tonne (1100 lbs) down a snow-covered mountainside in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital.

By Malik Milfeldt
gnuf.com is now offering gamblers a chance to guess - free-of-charge - which numbers the dice landed on, and if you guess right, you can win a holiday to Greenland.

On 20 September 2007 the world's biggest dice throw will be published on www.gnuf.com/diceroll, and according to the organisers behind the event, participants have until 23 October to submit an educated guess.

Gnuf.com dice roll in Nuuk

More information is available to help you a little: e.g. the dice were thrown from a drop-height of 20 metres (66 feet) on the Lille Marlene fell, which rises some 340 metres (1,115) feet above sea level. The average inclination of the slope at the location at which the dice were rolled is 22 degrees.

Greenland.com can reveal that it was a number between 1 and 12 - and according to mathematical probability, seven is the most likely result. But perhaps you have a better guess?
