Makes one wonder about the purpose(s) for which the dice were used. Joel Send a noteboard - 08/03/2013 10:29:19 AM

The place of Euclid when he was also the guys who is most known for discussing basic geometry and the five Platonic Solids, which are the d4, d6, d8, d12, and d20 can't be too surprising that some people there were familiar enough with those shapes to want to use them too, and dice games were already around and widespread. That is just all kinds of cool though.

Only games, or for divination, random number generators, etc. Hopefully they were smart enough to realize how superfluous the d100 is.

Tom would probably be our best source on symbols; apparently ancient Egypt had THREE numeric sets. - 08/03/2013 06:24:27 PM 897 Views
Tom probably, maybe Ghav - 08/03/2013 07:29:32 PM 877 Views

Like Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers? You expect me to fall for that as easily as General Zod did? - 09/03/2013 11:14:24 PM 950 Views

Also Tom's remark's on the CMB make it pretty definitely not numerical - 10/03/2013 04:21:55 AM 833 Views
Hmm... actually, that d20 COULD be a "d200." - 11/03/2013 03:39:52 PM 1041 Views
