Nice try, but tell me:  what rules are you using that allows rolling a "1"?
Both the "Seattle Rules" and the original rules quite clearly state "When it is
his turn, a player moves by rolling the two white dice (not the colored die)
and immediately moving his pawn along the rail lines on the board for the
number of dots that he rolled."  With two dice, the absolute minimum that you
can roll is a 2 so if you need only 2, that is a "gimme"!!!  Come on guys, read
the rules.  Or is this a :) ?  (Or however you make a smiley face?)
