What Makes Something Random?

Curious Kids Every Day: A Daily Educational Podcast

Did you know that you can predict the roll of a die? Well... KIND OF! Today, we'll learn why dice rolls are hard to predict one at a time (but easy to predict over ONE HUNDRED times!). We'll also learn how computer programs can create results that seem random (but really aren't)!
