Countdown d24 & Orbiform d4

The properties of these mathematical shapes amaze and amuse!


The Dice Lab Countdown d24 makes keeping track of your score or health points a delight. Based on a shape called the sphericon, it advances along a zigzag path with a gentle push. In the video below gravity provides the push to keep the die moving. Measuring 1-2/3 inches (42 mm) in the long direction, the Countdown d24 is available in black, white, and translucent amber. All our offerings are available online at The Dice Shop at Mathartfun.com.

Orbiforms have the same width in every direction. If you put a book on three of these it will roll smoothly on the table, just as a book on three spheres would. Unlike conventional tetrahedral four-sided dice, these dice roll smoothly and wobble as well. The shape is mathematically fair, giving equal probability for the four results. Measuring 1-1/16 inches (29 mm) in diameter, the Orbiform d4 is available in black, white, purple, and translucent amber. All our offerings are available online at The Dice Shop at Mathartfun.com.
