Another quiz result

Cool. This was exactly the result I wanted. In the question that asked what my favorite die was, I wanted to answer 6, but that wasn't a choice.

You are a good old-fashioned six-sided cube, otherwise known as a d6. Others know you to be plain, predictable, conservative, average, ordinary, and downright boring. You prefer to describe yourself as dependable, honest, practical and trustworthy. People usually know what to expect from you, since you rarely hold any surprises. You hate to make decisions, and if forced to decide, you'll always fall back on how it was done in the past. You always order the same thing at your favorite restaurant, and your jokes, while funny, are never too offensive. It seems that you are well liked, but maybe that's simply because there's nothing to hate.

But let's have another little math rant, shall we? It's not nitpicking, it's just some expansion of ideas brought up. Here's a bit of the disclaimer from this quiz:
"Despite the mind-boggling complexity of mankind, the billions of distinctly different personalities found on Earth can easily be divided into seven simple categories that correspond to the five Platonic solids, a pseudo polyhedron, and whatever the hell a d100 is."

The five Platonic solids, of course, are the 5 possible 3-dimensional regular polyhedra, the tetrahedron, the cube, the octahedron, the dodecahedron, and the icosahedron. In n-dimensions for n>3, there are only 3 possible n-dim polyhedra, generalizations of the tetrahedron, dodecahedron, and octahedron. Isn't that interesting? A 100-sided die is conceivable, but it wouldn't be regular (all of its sides and angles wouldn't be congruent to each other), which would kind of ruin its purpose as a die.

Today my friend showed me a die her dad gave her that you don't roll, you just smack it on your hand and the digital screen on top randomly picks a number from 1-6. It's pretty cool, and one of those things that make you wonder if technology is ever going to come up with something useful again.
