rbn comments on Doesn't hurt as bad as a d4

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.

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.

There are 4 stable orientations and 2 unstable equilibria

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.
