Dice, Dice and more Dice: The Quest for a Fair 38-Sided Die
Coming to a Youtube Channel near you. Ever since I binged Gravity Falls over the course of a couple weeks two and a half years ago, I’ve been wrestling with one observation:
^ That is not a 38-sided die. Just barely half, actually. This die is quite clearly modeled on a d20, which comes woefully short. So I have wrestled with the question: what would a d38 look like? And could I make one? Due to Grant Sanderson’s (3blue1brown) wonderful, now yearly challenge called the Summer of Math Exposition, in its third year (SoME3), and being connected with someone who is just as invested but with more coding knowledge than me, I will be able to deliver a hopefully satisfying answer. And not just an answer, a real, physical model. Maybe if there’s even enough desire, I could slap together a storefront and sell these real, physical models. Who knows? If you want to be @’d when the video drop, please say “Me!” in the comments below this post. I think I’ve got something big here, for both the mathematical world and the Gravity Falls fandom.
