Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/23/2021 06:17 am Doubling on the date would not be the result of a doubled die. The die was created, and the the date was punched in later. So it is possible to have a doubled die with no doubling in the date, or a doubled date with no dubling in the die, or even a doubled dies with a doubled date that has no relationship in the doubling between the two.
