what about a dπ

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are more than 3 sides there

[–] hemko@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes but only one side will be up when it settles

Honestly, it's kind of brilliant.

Interesting they also use that shape for a D4. I suppose you could even use a standard D6 as long as you had 3 "one" sides and 3 "two" sides.

Surely that's either a d0 or a d∞.

It has one side geometrically.

If you define the number to be the amount of flat surfaces the die can land on and you assume the surface is non-physically smooth, maybe. "maybe" because we can't see the underside, which might be flat.
