Abstract
A die having three sides in the form of a cube wherein the cube is altered to portray only three face values that appear to a user.
Claims
1. A die comprising: three angled and recessed faces; each of the angled and recessed faces being rectangular shaped and distinguished by a number marked on; wherein, each of the angled and recessed faces of said die is created by triangularly shaped voided sections in a cube wherein each of the triangularly shaped voided section is defined by a central portion of a common edge of the cube and equal portions of the two adjoining sides of the cube, resulting in each angled flat and recessed face of the die; said die portraying only one of the three angled faces upward at a time as a result of rolling.
2. The device of claim 1 wherein said die rolls and bounces similar to a cube, with its own interactions, unique to its geometry.
3. The device of claim 1 wherein said die presents a single face unambiguously upward with precisely a chance of occurrence.
4. The device of claim 1 wherein said die rolls and tubes similar to a cube, allowing equal possibility of any one of the three designated faces to be displayed upwards.
5. The device of claim 1 wherein said die is made from a single material of uniform density, relying exclusively on its geometry and voided space to present one of three faces upwards.
6. The device of claim 1 wherein said die has no more than three, identical faces, distinguishable by a given number 1, 2, or 3.
