How to replace 8-sided dice with other dice The exact question is:
You need an 8-sided die for a game. You only have a coin, two four-sided and one 10-sided dice. How can you replace the 8-sided die?
Re-rolls are not allowed.
There are several solutions to this I've been told, I found one, but my solution wasn't one of the expected solutions. What solutions can you think of?
My solution was:
Roll 10-sided and 2x 4-sided dice, sum up the result and roll and substract 2-sided die (the coin) which you divide by 2 at the end to get the result (round up)

To keep the uniform repartition, here are some proposals : 


*

*Roll the 10-face dice, re-roll on 9 and 10.

*Roll the 4-face dice, then flip the coin. Add 4 on heads.

*Roll the 4-face dice and multiply the result by 2. Flip a coin, and substract 1 on heads.


There are probably a number of other solutions, the important part is to keep the repartition uniform.
