Polar bears is no doubt the most famous dice puzzle around. I first heard it when I studied mathematics, and Douglas Hofstadters book “Godel, Escher, Bach” may have been the source.
If you want to puzzle your friends, roll 5 dice, and tell the how many polar bears can be spotted. Then roll 5 dice again, let them guess, and tell them the correct number if they guess wrong.

This puzzle hit a group of teachers at Rutgers University in 1991 and At that time it was discovered that the polar bears hunt for fish and the fish eat plankton. How many plankton are there? Yes there is a legitimate algorithm for determining the number of plankton for any given dice roll.
