(Answer: It's NOT a good bet for Hardy. Charles knows that the opposite numbers on a regular die always add up to seven.)
I give you the scenario...you give me the answer to it...
Charles Pompuss was standing at the bar int eh "Soul Ace Hotel", rolling some dice in his hand. Hardy Pyle spotted Charles with the dice and strolled over looking for a possible wager. Charles said to Hardy, "I'll bet you $100 that if you take a regular die and tell me just the top number, I can correctly guess the bottom number ten times out of ten." Would this be a good bet for Hardy to take?

Don't take the bet, the bottom number is always the same....as long as you know what the top number is

No - the dice won't change numbers.
Cherry Blossom
I'm thinking all dice are numbered the same so the number opposite what shows is fixed. I'm going with no. Unless this is a trick question in which case my answer is no idea.
Cherry Picker
No. He's going to know the bottom number as soon as the dice are thrown.
