I'll take a chance at ridicule. In the first quiz: White will win in a maximum of two moves. I would play 6-4 6-4 5-3 5-3 in the hope that white will not roll a double. This allows me to win if I roll double 4s, 5s or 6s. I don't see any other chance at pulling this out. Basically the same logic in the second quiz: I'd move 5-OFF 4-3. Then I would need double 3s, 4s, 5s or 6s to win. Of course, I could be missing something.
