    I assumed that craps was in play so I tried various numbers associated with rolling two dice until I found the answer. No idea how we were supposed to get ELEVEN. Something to do with YO-LEVEN?

      "Yo" is what craps dealers say instead of "eleven," presumably so it can't be mistaken for "seven"

      Same as benchen, I still don't get the mechanism... Is "YO" indicated somehow?

        Two DIEs in the puzzle, first "displaying" Y, second O

          maybe not my most inspired idea but that's kind of the "one creative thing a day social media challenge" trap
