The [Roll Dice](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/dice) and [Random Number](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/random) columns add some randomness to your apps!

Here’s an app that flips coins and rolls dice:

![CleanShot 2021-10-26 at 06.55.49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/3/23883776d8d831e3e394547a6b27f3da480cd5b5.gif)

You could also use these columns to randomly partition data, for example, randomly assign 20% of employees to a Red team and 80% to a Blue team.

### Some things I learned this morning when implementing this:

- A coin is a two-sided die.
- Flipping a zero-sided die is undefined.
- Negative-sided die work just as well as their positive counterparts.
