Sixty is a fun number to play around with in games. For example, if you have a 60 card deck (Magic the Gathering, anyone?), you can shuffle it in a very unique way. Put it down into 6 piles of 10. Then, one pile at a time, distribute each pile into the remaining others. First, you'll put 10 cards among the remaining five piles. Then, 12 among the remaining four, 15 among the remaining three, 20 among the remaining two, and finally just shuffle together the final two piles of thirty (or just place them one at a time onto a single pile for perfection). At every level, each pile has the number of piles as a factor of the number of cards.
Icositetrahedron! Thank you! I saw a photo of a garnet crystal in that shape. After I figured out how many sides it had, wanted to know it's name... that magically lead here! I scored 1 internet! Garnet also forms rhombic dodecahedrons, so it's interesting to see the mineral implying a relationship between these two shapes.
I was looking for a way to calculate the rolls for a standard d20 set using coin flips in a fixed number of steps no reroll operations and started searching for d60s and d30s and it brought me here. nice.
Picks the only colour which blends in with the green table. Proceeds to pick the only colour that the overwhelming amount of colour-blind people would see as blending in with the table.
You should sell 30-sided dice as well, just to complete the collection so to speak OH and it's also possible to get 7-sided ones if you want to go for the obscure ones it's a pentagonal prism that allegedly is completely fair
Hey Matt, my friend met you the other day at the maths lecture in London, apparently you had a small discussion on the mile of Pi video, sorry that he didn't have a Rubik's cube. Anyway I got some solids of constant width and they're great. Gonna give them to my dad on Christmas. Bye.
on the D60 for using as an n sided dice where you roll x I would go with x mod(n) = result then treat a 0 as a full roll. (so if using it as a d20 and I roll 40, count it as a nat 20)
Question: what is the best degree of each polyhedron corners' rounding? Some d6s have practically round faces - they are the common part of ball and cube. Wouldn't it be the best also for another polyhedra? Or maybe the part of another round solid would be better for the corners rounding?
Customer service at its best.!!!!!!! - "" Roll the d24 half the value and round up to the nearest whole number, "" Those are the type of answers id much prefere to hear!!!! rather than your usual step by step instruction robotised "customer service" we generally get
O, nice: before I wrote this there were sixty comments! (Sorry to ruin that). My very important question is, do opposite numbers on each of these always add up to the same number? I consider this an absolute must! … oh, there are still sixty comments after I wrote this. Some trickery seems to be going on.
+Scot Brown Yes, good spot! Bitcoin uses all upper and lower case letters and all digits *with some removed* which we didn't say in the video. Bitcoin wallets should be human readable so they decided to use base 58 which omits 0, O, l and I.
No recomendaría los productos que vende esta página para nada. La atención al cliente que (no) tienen es absolutamente lamentable. Para un pedido que he realizado he tenido un montón de problemas y me parece patético que no se hayan dignado a responder un correo de los que he enviado. Por no decir que he tenido que pagar más por los gastos de envío que por el propio producto. Servicio nefasto. I would not recommend the products this page sells at all. The customer service they (do not) have is absolutely pitiful. For an order I have placed I have had a lot of problems and I find it pathetic that they have not deigned to respond to one of the emails I have sent. Not to mention that I have had to pay more for shipping costs than for the product itself. Disastrous service.
Definitely love the idea of the D24 and D60 making a time that something occurs to the adventurers type of roll!
Please produce the regular four-dimensional polytopes: d5, d8, d16, d24, d120 and d600. Thanks.
Seems to me that the d4 will be pretty "standard" eventually. It's a huge advancement from the pyramid we have.
The Caltrop you mean? By the way, that is particularly true when you have a set of metal dice.

Two of my favorite people on the internet in one video!
Red is the worst contrast to green for colorblinds.
But for non-color blinds it's actually the best.
Karsten Wouldn't the best color contrast for non color blind people be green and magenta or red and cyan?
Karsten, I think black vs white is pretty a decent contrast.
peddle them as dice that are "much nicer to step on"
They make a D120 as well, based on a disdyakis triacontahedron - check out The Dice Lab!

Tristan Frodelius
that's the case for almost all dice and how you roll it. No dice are completely fair
that d4 is the one I want. That's far more convenient
What if THAT one lands with the blank side up?

d24 + d60 + Sheldon = missing Big Bang theory episode!
I like the octahedron, regular d8s really don't roll that well so I normally give them a little spin throw up in the air like I do with a d4.
Nice vid keep up the good work
I love dice
"Rerolls rocks..."
this channel and website concerns me. i have a feeling im going to spend a lot of money here.
count it as a wild card? (2:40) bah
I much prefer mapping my truncated faces to the cube that truncated it and treat it as a normal d6 on my d8
on the D60 for using as an n sided dice where you roll x I would go with x mod(n) = result then treat a 0 as a full roll. (so if using it as a d20 and I roll 40, count it as a nat 20)
I did that dodecahedron thing too.
Wouldn't base 58 be all numbers from 0 to 57? So you could just roll the 60 dice, ignore 59 and 60 and subtract one ;-)
Question: what is the best degree of each polyhedron corners' rounding? Some d6s have practically round faces - they are the common part of ball and cube. Wouldn't it be the best also for another polyhedra? Or maybe the part of another round solid would be better for the corners rounding?
I don't need those dice becose I have a d120 and the number of numbers on these dice are all factors of 120.
But I bought it anyway.
So rombic means "made of diamonds"? So a rombic hexagon is a hexagon made of 3 diamonds?
that is super awesome
Jesteście fantastycznie przezabawni :)
Roll the d24 and d60 to find out when you will be done with your bitcoin address.
+xylophone he did
xylophone "I'll be done by.."
Would a snub disphenoid work as a fair 12 sided die too?
No rhombic triacontahedron d30? :(
i wonder if they play d&d and if so do they use these dice
Ok but whens the dice set that starts at 0 coming out?
Ah yes the classic dungeons and dragons dice

aren't there 62 alphanumeric case-sensitive characters? (a-z 26, A-Z 26, 0-9 10, 26+26+10=62)
+Scot Brown Yes, good spot! Bitcoin uses all upper and lower case letters and all digits *with some removed* which we didn't say in the video. Bitcoin wallets should be human readable so they decided to use base 58 which omits 0, O, l and I.
Steve Mould Didn't know that, thanks! Btw, great videos!
+Scot Brown thanks!
I'm disappointed that there's no dysdyakis triacontahedron (d120)
How about a d7?
Aren't there dice starting from 0? Hahahaha
+Alejandro Apellido well a standard d10 actually goes from 0-9, to make it easier to use two d10s to act as a d100.
+Jim Cullen (Zagorath) good to know!
You can use it to play my overpowered character in D&D :)
I've got them! They're great!
But I have something to ask you: PLEASE, PLEASE, UPDATE YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE!!!
Make a Dürer's Solid die.
Catalan solids FTW
2:05 XD Its a jewish octahedron
