The Question by Canopenner :
2005-09-21 at 00:40GMT

Is it possible to have a 512 sided die? My friends and I are having an argument and I dont think it all fits together right.

Can you settle it for us?

Thanks.

Hello, Canopenner!

If you mean a regular polyhedron ... all face regular polygons
  ... and all faces congruent . . . no.

There are only five regular polyhedra (called the "Platonic Solids"):
   tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icoshedron, and dodecadehron.
