Here's a model

[image loading]


Sup, need help from an artist to draw a picture or graph of this "3-Sided Die" in the style of an almond




a 3-sided dice look like an almond with 3-side? @@

EinYicero Qiraenon Perhaps. If the traditional almond could be said to have 2-faces. Call the two 'seams' of the almond its vertices:

1 at 0º
2 at 180º

EinYicero Qiraenon Then the 3-sided almond could be a fat almond with seams or vertices:

1 at 0º
2 at 120º
3 at 240º

EinYicero Qiraenon So this 3-sided die has 3 faces (each side is a face). Each side is rounded, so there are infinitely many ways to roll a 1, 2, or 3. Each result (1, 2, 3) is still unique, however.

I think the problem is that there's no guarantee that there's going to be one side that's *exactly* straight up.

I don't think you can create a true three-sided die without adding extra symbols to account for repeats or slanted sides (here's a search for it: http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1T4ADFA_enUS470US470&q=3-sided die&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=0s5rT9D1L6Lt0gHwlJ3OBg&biw=1396&bih=675&sei=1s5rT5qNPInD0AGG2OT-Cw).

I just roll a 6-sided die and say "1 and 2 is Option A. 3 and 4 is Option B. 5 and 6 is Option C."

But good luck ^^

The face up thing is simple enough. The numbers can represent the side that landed face down, rather than which side is face up, as with a four sided die:

Alternatively you could put the numbers at the top on the curved bit. I don't see any difficulty with that.

Every time I conceive a realistic 3-sided almond shape it doesn't seem to roll correctly. I think your sketch shows that it does but I'm having trouble picturing it. It seems like the side that lands down could be the one used as the roll.

Edit: Can't it land on the intersection of the 3 sides? It looks like there is a point there but if it lands awkwardly near the point then there are still multiple sides considered for the roll.
Please PM me with any songs you like that you think I haven't heard before!

Give me a few minutes.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Took me a while to realize I was over thinking it. Hopefully a 3D model is okay, it's not great quality but hopefully it will do:
