I did this with my brothers, I added to it a convoluted process for how they are to shake the dice (and blamed them for not doing it properly when getting bad rolls). One of them even forgot for a minute that the process has nothing to do with what number is rolled. It was a lot of fun and worked very well.
The most important thing is we heard from my sister who works at a local water park that their sales manager is in danger of loosing his job, because of poor revenue last year due to storms and weather. And my youngest brother, who is 13, said "Hey, that's just like that dice game we played! He can't help it that the weather was bad!" Even a 13 year old can be more competent than MBAs! LOL
This is great. I've been inspired by your writings to go back and refamiliarise myself with the red bead experiment. I've only ever experienced it online (YouTube etc) and have always wanted to run a session using it as the basis for learning more about systems thinking but ... the cost and purchase of the paddle/beads is quite expensive where I live. Now I have a viable (and portable) model to use. Many thanks.
