I have an old bag of dice. There are 11 of them. The lowest number I can roll with them is an 11. 😉

The highest number I can roll with them is a 116.

None of my dice are 6 sided dice... can you figure out what dice I have?

How about 10 8-sided and one 36-sided?

Are your dice all (approximately) regular polyhedra? If so, then these are the 18 possibilities I think, expressed as number of d20s,d12,d8s,d4s:

4,1,0,6
4,0,2,5
3,3,0,5
3,2,2,4
3,1,4,3
3,0,6,2
2,5,0,4
2,4,2,3
2,3,4,2
2,2,6,1
2,1,8,0
1,7,0,3
1,6,2,2
1,5,4,1
1,4,6,0
0,9,0,2
0,8,2,1
0,7,4,0
