We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
There is a 1/6 chance of rolling two dice once and getting a 7. So the probability of accomplishing this feat is (5/6)^13 which is about 9.346%, roughly 1 in 10.7 attempts.
13 times? That's no record at all....try 154 times, the current record. For full video documentation, check out the story on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/offbeat/2009/05/25/moos.oh.craps.cnn

Excellent question, Karen. Since it was witnessed by casino cameras and multiple onlookers, I think it should be accepted.

Patricia Demauro's record wasn't videotaped. What do competitors think: should we accept it since it's documented in a published news story?
Rob Birdsong
Agree with the comment from above. Here is another article supporting the attempt of Ms. Demauro's attempt for 154 rolls.

What's that kid doing the weekend of March March 19th - 21st, 2010? And does he have a fake ID?
there is like a 10% chance of this happening on a random string of 13 rolls: (5/6)^13 is between .09 and .1
