The die is placed with 4 pips ‘face down’ in one corner of the triangular grid shown, so that the face with 4 pips precisely covers the triangle marked with 4 pips.
The die is now ‘rolled’, by rotating about an edge without slipping, so that 1 pip is face down. It is rolled again, so that 2 pips are face down, as indicated.
The rolling continues until the die rests on the shaded triangle in the opposite corner of the grid.
