The d72 in this set is //nearly// suitable for a physical die. Discovered by Eric Harshbarger (who used the fewest-sides-known 4-player set and "induced" a 5-player set from it using Paul Vanetti's method).

 +Discovered by Brandon Enright in September 2026. This set uses column-grouping and was found by computer search. For column-grouping this solution is, in some sense, optimal. There are no column-grouped 5d30 or 6d30 sets that are permutation fair, or even place-fair for all subsets. Whether a non-column-grouped 5 or 6 30-sided set exist with permutation fairness or all-subset-place-fair is still an open question.

 Discovered by James Grime and Brian Pollock (on 29 November 2015). This set of five 60-sided dice is "place fair" but not "permutation fair" (though it is tantalizingly close to exhibiting that stronger fairness). It was constructed using an original technique that Grime and Pollock call "binary construction". Discovered by James Grime and Brian Pollock (on 29 November 2015).

 +Discovered by Brandon Enright (2012). This set of five 30-sided dice is "place fair". This shows that we cannot prove that a set of 5d30 permutation-fair dice is impossible via Go-First-fairness or place-fairness.
