Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·

Thus,
suppose
the
throws
to
be
five,
two.
Five
multiplied
by
two
are
ten;
add
five,
fifteen,
which,
multiplied
by
five,
is
seventy-five,
to
which
two
(the
points
of
the
remaining
die)
being
added,
the
total
is
seventy-seven.
If
from
this
you
mentally
deduct
twenty-five,
the
remainder
is
fifty-two,
giving
the
points
of
the
two
dice--five
and
two.
But,
you
will
say,
suppose
the
person
who
threw
had
reversed
the
arithmetical
process,
and
had
taken
the
points
of
the
second
die
(two)
as
his
multiplicand,
the
result
must
have
been
different.
Let
us
try
the
experiment.
Twice
two
are
four,
five
added
make
nine,
which,
multiplied
by
five,
is
forty-five,
and
five
(the
points
of
the
other
die)
being
added
to
it,
bring
the
total
up
to
fifty.
From
this
subtract
twenty-five
as
before.
The
remainder,
twenty-five,
again
gives
the
points
of
the
two
dice,
but
in
the
reverse
order;
and
the
same
result
will
follow,
whatever
the
throws
may
be.
