Abstract
We discuss counterintuitive aspects of probabilities for systems of identical particles obeying quantum statistics. Quantum coins and children (two level systems) and quantum dice (many level systems) are used as examples. It is emphasized that, even in the absence of interactions, (anti)symmetrizations of multiparticle wave functions destroy statistical independences and often lead to dramatic departures from our intuitive expectations.
