a two sided die is called a coin

[–] binomialchicken@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 days ago (3 children)

The edge of a coin is a 3rd side though

[–] mikesizachrist@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (15 children)

every other die has sides that aren't counted if you're doing that.

An ideal coin is perfectly flat with no thickness.

Yup, my "d2" in my dice bag is a silver half dollar. Still call it my d2 though.

Agreed, but also weird as aren't d4 made from 4 triangles?

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Usually, yes. This one is effectively a d6 (a cube), but two of the flat faces have been replaced by curves that connect opposite flat faces. As such you've got four flat faces that the die can actually stop on. If you ignore the curved parts but consider all of the flats to be separate faces, it's a d4. If you consider two flats connected by a curve to be a single face altogether, it's a d2.

Fuck caltrop d4s, all my homies hate caltrop d4s (it's me, I'm all the homies)

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

One set of my dice have very hard/straight/flat edges... The fucking 4 sided has stabbed me many times, but once it went right under my finger nail and drew blood 😫

At first glance I thought this was an AI generated picture of a roll of toilet paper..

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The picture is of a d4. Dice are measured counting the flats (and therefore possible number of different results) not mathematically defined "sides".

[–] faint_marble_noise@programming.dev 31 points 6 days ago (3 children)

No, dN means there are N different outcomes. Does not matter if they are flat or anything. Cube with two of each number from 1 to 3 is a d3.

If you wanna get loosey-goosey with it and count the curved bit as a result, its still just a d6 lmao
