      The edge of a coin is a 3rd side though

        An ideal coin is perfectly flat with no thickness.

          Sir, what who describe looks more like a piece of paper than a coin.

            Ideal coins are inflexible.

              Ok, so a thin layer of adamantium is an ideal coin, but not a tiny disk of metallic alloy engraved with pictures, texts and values ! 📝

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

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

      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

    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.

      This die can only ever land on two distinct sides so it has two sides.

        Incorrect. It can land on two different sides. Or it can roll off the table and under something, leaving you in a state of limbo.

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

      define ‘side’.

      How many sides on a ball?

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

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