Encode a fair die with face labels by . Its probability generating function is . Two independent dice with polynomials have the same sum probability distribution as another pair if and all four dice have faces. Redistributing factors can construct unexpected examples, but each resulting polynomial must have nonnegative integer coefficients, no constant term if labels must be positive, and value at . For example, reallocating from one copy of to the other gives face labels and .
