How the Trick works:
On any die, the sum of the top number and the bottom number is 7. So for example, if you toss one die and the top number of the die is a 3, the number at the bottom of the die will be a 4, since 4 + 3 = 7.
So if you throw out 5 dice, the total of all the top and bottom numbers will be:
5 x 7 = 35
