Summary We study triples of labeled dice in which the relation “is a better die than” is nontransitive. Focusing on such triples with an additional symmetry we call balance, we prove that such triples of dice exist for all dice having at least three faces.We then examine the sums of the labels of such dice and use these results to construct an algorithm for verifying whether or not a triple of dice is balanced and nontransitive. We also consider generalizations to larger sets of dice and other related ideas.
