It's four-sided, not two-sided. If that one counts, you can also just use a regular six-sided one and just put three 'ones' and three 'twos' on it.

This die can only ever land on two distinct sides so it has two sides.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 15 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Incorrect. It can land on two different sides. Or it can roll off the table and under something, leaving you in a state of limbo.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It has only 1 corner, and 2 surfaces, making it 2 sided. The 2 sides just happen to be curved

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 6 points 5 days ago

Ah, dice lawyering.

1 corner, and 2 surfaces

Doesn't it have 0 corners, 1 edge, and 2 surfaces (faces)?

Ah yeah, you're right. I mixed the words for edges and corners

All dice are quantum dice!

It has two sides. They're curved, and it doesn't stay on the curve part, so you can effectively use it as a d4, but it's still only two-sided.

Sort of like how you can flip a Mobius strip like a coin and it will land one of two ways, but it still only has one side.

It has 2 surfaces.

It has 4 or 6 sides it can rest on IMHO. I'd need to play with it to find out.

There are 4 stable orientations and 2 unstable equilibria

define 'side'.

How many sides on a ball?

Inside, outside, and, depending on the ball, offsides.

[–] rbn@sopuli.xyz 6 points 5 days ago

Fair point. A ball has either one or infinite sides from my perspective.
