Usually, dice have 6 sides, which is not really what a programmer needs. When programing, you need binary numbers much more often (which means 0 or 1). The reason for this is that computers use the binary system and not a senary system. That's why we are now offering a binary dice:
Using the binary dice is really easy: The dice is basically a circular disc with two different sides. You just have to find a way to let the disc land on one of its sides randomly. For example, you could just throw it in the air and let it land on a table. Depending on which side is on the top, the dice gives you a 1 or a 0. In order to be able to distinguish the sides easily, a big 1 is printed on one of them.
To have even more fun while rolling the dice, you can vary the method of determing the side which is on the top. For example, you can spin the disc on a flat surface (please have a look at our video for a demonstration of this).
The binary dice is made from a composition of nickel, brass and copper. It weighs 7,6g and has a diameter of 26mm.
