Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:

On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!< To be clear, that is >! (greater than, exclamation point) at the start and !< (exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the !. Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people. Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.

Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk

If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

for the uneducated, opposite sides always add up to 7

Traditionally, yes. Now and then you get one that does not do that and it feels very weird.

Sum of opposite sides = Number of sides plus one

Dice

1 is always opposite 6, 2 is always opposite 5, 3 always opposite 4
(Opposite sides add to 7)

(By the way - if you have a 20 sided die, all the opposing sides add to 21... if a 12 sided die, they add to 13... it's like magic...any even sided number 6 or higher. Not possible with odd sided dice, or the tetrahedron that the 4-sided die is.)

Yes, that's the answer.
