A dice (pl. die) is an Object, to generate random numbers, in throwing, to play Games. There are various forms of die. The most known form of dice is a cube. It has numbers from one to six, so arranged, that the sum of two opposite sites is seven.
Other die are the four-sided tetrahedron, the eight-sided octahedron, the twelve-sided pentagondodecahedron and the rhombic dodeahedron, the 20-sided icosahedron, the 24-sided Tetrakis hexahedron and the 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron. Furthermore there exist die in prisms, bipyramids, antiprisms, balls and tops.
