This may be a problem for the theory here or possibly just a hiccup but here is the data :
CL 60 Bolle Bol Stomper with Marring Storm L3
Using the cycle target macro on a low level spawn outside Bestine on the hills to get 1 xp per kill and get the rollover. This method has worked fine the the previous 4 pets I have done it with there over the last few days. This one however, 2062 kills so far and still I have not learned the L3 off this guy.
Any ideas on what might be the problem ?

I'm starting to think the Bolle Bols are just very stubborn. I had to do 3 and a 1/2 rollover with my barkbiter inorder to learn VH2. Usually I manage to keep the needed rollovers to 1 and a 1/2 to 2 and a 1/4.But those Bolle Bol's....*shudder*. I still have 3 of them left that i need to learn from.....such a cruel fictional life.

To give an idea on how large it would need to be, and still come to a stop in a given amount of time, we can compare it to the Spaceship Earth, at Epcot Center. There are 954 panels Spaceship Earth, and has a diameter of 164 feet.
My guess is that in order to create a 1500 sided die that would stop in less then a minute of being rolled, it would need to be at least 250 feet in diameter. Of course you then run into the problem of actually trying to roll the die. If it was made out of the lightest material possible, while still having enough strength to support its own weight, it would take a crane the size of the Empire State building in order to get one good roll.
Once the die was rolled in one direction, you would either need another giantic crane to roll the die back in the other direction, or you would need one heck of an organized fleet of helos to move the die back to its starting location.
Don't get me started on the issue of how much land would need to be cleared, and concreted over, so that the die could roll without being obstructed.
Would you HAVE to make sure the "roll area" was absolutely flat? (as on that scale you get curvature of the earth problems)
This "may" affect the outcome of the roll
and if the answer is yes the scale involved makes the term "Flat" obsolete as what do you use to determine your getting a fair and even surface to roll on?
After posting this i made 5 more kills and was granted the ability, go figure that one out?

It's all random?
Plus the Universe has a wicked sense of humor.
