Just clarifying.. it has to be a polygon. Curves don't count.

That was not in your original statement. Be a man, and stick to the stated conditions.

This shape would work as a 3 sided die.


You could have the ends of the die come to points, like a joint.

That's the lowest sided die they make..
If you can show me a 3-sided 3-dimensional object (besides a cylinder) then I'll kick myself in the nuts.

A cylinder is a curve.

In RPGs you use a normal six sided die to roll three sided dice. 1-2 = 1, 3-4 = 2, 5-6 = 3.

Technically, this image is not a 3 sided solid. It has at a minimum 6 sides (3 outside + 3 inside). I can see that practically it would have only 3 useful sides, but it's hardly sufficient for a man to kick himself in the nuts.

Ya, I think you're right... Must have been the 4-sided die pyramid thing, just as others have pointed out. I was young at the time, so I am sure I just forgot it was 4 not 3.

Thanks.

It is possible but hard.

Euclidian geometry does not perfectly describe the space we live in. Space-time curviture due to mass allows a 3-sided polygon to exist.

But I won't hold you to your self-nut-kicking, mostly cause I wouldn't get to see it if you did.
