minus-squarerbn@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·1 month agoIt’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.
minus-squaremacniel@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up26·1 month agoThis die can only ever land on two distinct sides so it has two sides.
minus-squareRhaedas@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up18·1 month agoIncorrect. It can land on two different sides. Or it can roll off the table and under something, leaving you in a state of limbo.
minus-squarehemko@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·1 month agoIt has only 1 corner, and 2 surfaces, making it 2 sided. The 2 sides just happen to be curved
minus-squarethreelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month ago 1 corner, and 2 surfaces Doesn’t it have 0 corners, 1 edge, and 2 surfaces (faces)?
minus-squarehemko@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 month agoAh yeah, you’re right. I mixed the words for edges and corners
minus-squareArchpawn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up21·1 month agoIt 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.
minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·30 days agoIt has 2 surfaces. It has 4 or 6 sides it can rest on IMHO. I’d need to play with it to find out.

minus-squarezero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up21·1 month agoInside, outside, and, depending on the ball, offsides.
minus-squarerbn@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 month agoFair point. A ball has either one or infinite sides from my perspective.

Ah, dice lawyering.

All dice are quantum dice!
