Talk:2626: d65536

I wonder: can we even make a fair polyhedron with 65536 faces? In Randal's illustration, the faces seem to be irregular hexagons. 172.70.130.105 21:37, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

This is better than my question, which was simply if you could tile a sphere with these. 172.70.211.36 23:01, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Definitely possible, just create two identical right pyramids with a 32768-gon base and glue the bases together. Clam (talk) 23:53, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't know why it's so big? Seems like it should have a diameter of approx. 1 meter. 172.70.130.105 21:37, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Should the title and picture file use "d" or the comic's difficult to type "ᴅ"? While False (talk) 21:55, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Since xkcd uses small caps as lowercase letters, the "ᴅ" should just be considered xkcd-font for "d", and as such need not be used on the title, which is not using the xkcd font.

If you really did want to generate a 16 bit integer with physical dice, it would be much simpler to roll a hex die four times. Clayot (talk) 23:30, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Rolling a binary die 16 times would also work. You can get binary dice for 1¢ each. 108.162.245.69 01:31, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

I think the hardest part (or maybe second-hardest part) is figuring out which facet is the one on top. 162.158.78.109 00:46, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Roll it on a glass table, check from below which face it's landed on instead. Wait until it has settled safely, though, or it might land on your face! 172.70.90.227 04:58, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
