Preferring the hardway with the 4&#8217;s on top and 5&#8217;s facing me.  Or with the first die with the 4 up I can change the second die with a quarter turn toward me and have a 3-V set.   The third set is to change the second die so the 6 is up with 5 facing me  and have a 2-V set.  The last set is a 3 on top with a 5 facing me and the second die is a 2 on top with the 1 facing me.  My goal is to avoid the 7.  <br \/>\n\t  After the dice are presented I feel I am very fast at being able to pick up one die and put it down and pick up the second and put it down, and during that quick simple move can set the dice to my desired set.<br \/>\n\t  Well, I learned quickly in Wendover they will allow the thrower to move or change one die.  So while studying the dice sitting in front of the boxman I was able to figure out which one would be stationary and what would be the twist to the second dice  to get the set I wanted.  I had one dealer who said I couldn&#8217;t do that.  We asked for the bit boss, who came over and told the dealer that yes I could.  Just my little experience.  Today is a good day for throwing!<br \/>\n\t    Thank goodness for GTC, the 5 Count and following the 20 Commandments.
