Most of 'em wouldn't float, which makes me think that the ones that did had bigger air bubbles in them, and the one I tested ended up being one of the most buoyant. But very few of them didn't at least turn to favor one side (always the 1) as they sank.
But yeah, it is bullshit. I have a bunch of different dice sets, and the majority of them are speckled Chessex sets, which I'm now suspicious of.
I don't really care if dice are a bit off. As long as you don't know in what way they're off (and thus can't purposefully take advantage of it), it's just another random trend. Besides, unless the dice are way off, you'd need a very large sample size to even tell that they're biased. The problem is that only getting 53% as many 20s is way off. That's real problem territory. Honestly, only getting 75% as many would trouble me in a sample that size, and 53% is much worse than that.
I've heard people say that the speckled dice in particular are suspect, so it maybe that others are better, especially single-color ones. And with translucent dice, you can see if there are any air bubbles, so there is that, at least.
