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

      The old UK £1 was similar in size but twice as thick. It’s now 12-sided but not sure how that impacts the odds.

      I know there’s a way to figure that out, but I have no idea where to start. So I’m going with 1 in 3000, plus or minus 42.

            define ‘side’.

            How many sides on a ball?

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

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

                I’ve seen this shape uses as a D4. Nothing cursed about it. About as threatening to me as a Labrador puppy.

                    I like how you’d be rolling two d10’s, and then completely ignoring one of them.

                      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.

                      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.

                          Coins are just really unbalanced three-sided dice.

                          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.

                                Well, but it also has to stay on its edge, and that’s a lot less likely…

                                        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
