If I understand the experiment wouldn't a better analogy be if you shake the dice inside a CLOSED box it can be 1-6 and the fact that it is 1-6 is the basis of modern physics however whenever you shake the box while it is OPEN you always roll a 3?

I'm a classical computer scientist that moved into quantum computing; my dice analogy was to show the wave function just shows probability was in all states but the dice was in 1 state the entire time.

My best analogy would just give you the Hadamard matrix:
>1/sqrt(2)*|1 1 |
 > |1 -1|

and have you tensor a couple vectors 
>(1 0) and (0 1) 

to represent a 0 and a 1 qbit respectively. If you know how to multiple a 2x2 matrix with a 2x1 vector (or matrix) then you should be able to easily be able to see when you tensor the factor state, you'll get a vector of (1/sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(2)) and (1/sqrt(2) -1/sqrt(2)) respectively.

You can 'collapse' the wave function by squaring these values (squaring the amplitude); which would give you: (1/2 1/2) for both tensor products, which in turn will show that it has 50% chance of being a 0 (1 0) and 50% of being a 1 (0 1) when measured.

The Hadamard gate/matix just bumps the spin into the superposition state, it does not make it literally both 0 and 1; just 50% of both basis vectors that 'collapse' into one of the other when measure

you forgot to mention the fact that those probabilities only apply as long as no conscious will is using intent to skew the probabilities into making certain states more probable than others

>you forgot to mention the fact that those probabilities only apply as long as
I agree up to this point; the probabilities only apply if there is no other quantum interaction taking place. What I described above was purely superposition.
>no conscious will is using intent to skew the probabilities into making certain states more probable than others
The only way this happens is if a conscious entity places an additional quantum gate within the circuit.

All of you ding dongs that think consciousness applies to Quantum Mechanics need to start looking at Information Physics instead; your correlation lies in that realm, which is a sister branch of Quantum Physics, but has the stuff you're trying to piece together.

the real ding dong is any moron who thinks consciousness does not affect the probability of the wave function collapsing into one state over another
it's not even hard to understand, you can think of it as analogously to classical computers, where program execution simply follows whatever instructions it has been set to do in a completely deterministic manner, until a human comes along and nondeterministically gives it input
in exactly the same way, quantum computation, which is what reality does constantly, executes whatever instructions have been set, the only difference being that those instructions are probabilistic rather than deterministic, until a conscious agent (the user/programmer in the analogy to the classical computer) comes along and uses their will to influence the outcome by skewing the probability of the outcome

First off, that's a terrible analogy; ever heard of the big-o notation or actually studied into classical computer science? The 'non-deterministic' input follows a deterministic route in the cpu-fetch cycle from the program.

It's not a conscious agent that skews the probability; it's any quantum interaction with the wave function. Yes our consciousness is a massive entangled quantum system, however it's not required one single bit for the measurement and outcome no matter how hard you want it to be anon. 

Don't trust the new age spin on the explanations anon, if you want to understand the field, then learn the math and physics behind it (it's really not that complex initially) and trust the formulas; not some faggot schitzo spouting claims with no real explanation nor evidence
