My object won't acknowledge the "new" command.

Question

Okay I have this class called Die that is suppose to simulate a die with the added behaviour that it ceases to operate if 6 is rolled. But that problem is that when ever I try to declare multiple instances of the Die class with the new command the Die objects becomes copies of each other and are not independent. So change to one object alters all the other objects. I don't know why it is doing this. I am including the code of my Die class and my die population class which has the array which I am trying to populate with independent Die objects.
public class Die {
     private static int numTosses;
     private static boolean alive;
     public Die() {
          numTosses = 0;
          alive = true;
     public int getNumTosses() {
          return numTosses;
     public boolean alive() {
          return alive;
     public void toss() {
          if (alive == true){
               numTosses++;
               int dieToss = (int)(6*Math.random())+1;
               System.out.println("Die toss result " + dieToss);
               if (dieToss == 6){
                    alive = false;
                    System.out.println("Dead");
     public String toString() {
          return "Number of Tosses thus far\t" + numTosses;
public class DicePopulation {
     //instance variables
     private Die []dice;
     private int numAlive;
     private int numTossesAll;
     //constructor
     public DicePopulation (int numDice){
          dice = new Die[numDice];
          numAlive = numDice;
          numTossesAll = 0;
          for (int i = 0; i<numDice; i++){
               dice[i] = new Die();
     public int getNumAlive (){
          return numAlive;
     public int getNumTossesAll (){
          return numTossesAll;
     public void tossAll (){
          for (int i = 0; i<dice.length; i++){
               boolean diceStatus = dice.alive();
               System.out.println("Die index " + i + " Die Status " + diceStatus);
               if (diceStatus == true){
                    System.out.println("Tossed Die Number " + i);     
                    dice[i].toss();
                         if (dice[i].alive() == false){
                              numAlive--;
          numTossesAll++;
     public String toString (){
          return "number times all tossed\t" + numTossesAll + "\tnumber alive\t" + numAlive;

Answer 1

Couldn't the problem also be that he has declared
the object "dice" outside if the intialization loop
causing each instance in the array to be a copy?
I know that the static would cause a problem but
couldn't the other be the case as well?Huh?
The declaration of dice seems correct to me, remember our hero here used 'i' as loop variable and you should know that a bracketed 'i' formats text in italics here, so this loop actually readsfor (int k = 0; k < dice.length; k++) {
    dice[k] = new Die();
} i.e. no copies ...
