Re: Manually generating a key with dice

Hi,

My suggestion, which is probably "information-theoretically correct" is 
to simply base-convert the "base 6" sequence of dice digits to base 
required (base 10 or base 26 or any other base) and then delete the 
first sign of result (which will be biased, because first sign of output 
base - the "zero" of given base - will never appear on first place).

It is easy to adapt this arbitrary base converter to "dice base" of 
digits 1-6 and then get all output bases needed:
