Abstract
A die which generates higher values of random numbers. The die for generating a randomly occurring number between 1 and X comprises: a central body which has a lateral cross section which is an x sided polygon having sides of equal length when cut perpendicularly anywhere along a longitudinal axis. A number ranging between 1 and x is marked on an upper portion of the die when the die is resting on a lateral side, said number designating the side on which the die is resting.
Claims5
A die for generating a randomly occurring number between 1 and X comprising:
- a central body which has a lateral cross section which is an x sided polygon having at least 5 sides of equal length when cut perpendicularly anywhere along a longitudinal axis;
- said die being generally torpedo shaped when viewed from a lateral side, each lateral tapering to opposite end portions and each lateral side arcing between the central body and the end portions wherein each side is arcuate so that the die will rock longitudinally after it comes to rest on an arcuate side.
