Spin-top dice

thingiverse

I've finally laid eyes on this before - a spinning dice that mimics a top. Its design is clearly inspired by the Dreidel. The curiosity got the best of me, and I had to give it a spin. After some tinkering, I think I have my answer: creating one with equal chances for each face is no easy feat. Despite this challenge, I'm thrilled with the result - it's an absolute blast to play with. However, upon closer inspection, certain numbers seem to appear more frequently than others. Maybe it's just my imagination running wild; a thorough analysis with a table and some actual counting might be in order. I've crafted three versions of this spinning dice, but I'm only sharing one as the other two are awkward to use or look quite off-putting.
