Doesn't hurt as bad as a d4

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

That extremely rare, almost-never chance of landing on the edge is exactly what I would program into a game if I made one, instead of exactly 50% odds.

Or you know, a coin.
Too expensive.

Not if it’s a thnickel.

This gave me an idea for a gimmick die. Transparent die filled with dark liquid. The exterior of the die has the usual numbers in white lettering. Inside the die, there is a smaller cork die that rises like a magic 8ball. It’s 2d(x) in 1. Interesting for tension building, if nothing else.
Edit: looked it up and I’m not original, and they’re largely as bad as I thought they’d be
One of my overdue projects is to disassemble a magic 8 ball, remove the dice from it and make a digital magic 8 ball. I plan to bequeath the removed “dice” to a DM I know.

Looks 4-sided to me
You have to wait for it to finish rolling up if it lands with a value on the down side.

Thanks, I hate it.

This was my thought.
Mfers be out here debating whether the thing depicted is actually a “two sided” dice, meanwhile coins just be chillin over there getting ignored.
Y’all be trippin.

I need to get one of these sometime

Whatever you call them, people will respect you more when you use them.

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

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

Even not considering that, they still aren’t 50-50 odds. The stamped printing on both sides throws off the balance just enough to bias one side over the other.

Make sure to wear long gloves and short sleeves. The dye in that water is strong. I was purple for days after cracking an 8ball and people kept asking how I got hurt.

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

a two sided die is called a coin

Coins are just really unbalanced three-sided dice.
aka really short cylinders
