: Try looking up Laplace's rule of indifference (Wikipedia calls it the
: "principle of indifference").

The principle of indifference says that if the die has 6 sides of
equal weight, the probability of any particular side is 1/6. And
unless you have reason to know that the coin is biased, the
probability of getting a heads is 1/2. I don't see the connection to
ignoring rov.
