    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.

    It has 2 surfaces. It has 4 or 6 sides it can rest on IMHO. I'd need to play with it to find out.

        The edge of a coin is a 3rd side though

          every other die has sides that aren't counted if you're doing that.

              A side in this case is a specific area that allows for differentiating outcomes

                  This has 4 possible faces it can land on, though. It's a D6 with two sides rounded to make them impossible to land on.

                  It has two outcomes, hence is a d2

                      Thanks, not sure why my comment is not showing as deleted to you. I deleted it just after posting after realizing I misread what the previous post was saying.

                        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.

                        I brought this up in maths class once. The teacher agreed that the edge was a possibility and since he was involved in football, they used to flip the coin and let it land on the ground. More than once it stuck in the mud in the edge. Then told us to ignore that possibility.

                          the flattening is what makes them not spheres and have sides. If we applied this "logic" then literally everything is just anything but in a different form - which makes no sense

                              A die can land and stand on a corner if you do it precisely enough.

                                  This is correct. It's a d4 that's just as cleanly a d4 as a regular d4 with rounded corners. Both have parts that don't belong to the sides, since there's no defined outcome where the dice comes to rest on one of the rounded non-side parts.

                                      It needs a designation, why is said what i said. You don't call side on a coin flip because your only choices are heads or tails

                                          You were? No one said anything, and you replied to me with a "flaw" in what I said? Why would you just not agree? Or upvote? It's weird that you would say I was wrong then say you were doing it to support my statement.
