I didn't want to make this one a puzzle -- it's too easy! isn't it? But it's a perfect illustration of a point that's worth making about the utility of null dice. Where they really shine is in protecting your large dice -- disrupting skill attacks against them or keeping them from having to be rerolled.
TheUniverse here will probably win no matter what, but the instinctive "avoid using null dice whenever possible" idea is wrong: 1/12 of the time it will result in a tie -- if he (or she) instead attacks with the null die first, he (or she) is certain to win.
