A die (Old French de, from Latin datum "something given or played" [1]) is a small polyhedral object (usually a cube) suitable as a gambling device (especially for craps or sic bo). Traditionally, a die is seldom seen alone, rather than as one of a pair of identical dice that are sized to be comfortably rolled or thrown, together, from a user's hand. (The singular word "die" is therefore rare, and treating "dice" as interchangeably singular or plural is not uncommon.) A traditional die is a cube (often with ...

A ball is a round object that is used most often in sports and games. Balls are usually hollow and spherical but can be other shapes, such as ovoid (only in a few special cases) or solid (as in billiards) and flat (as in ice hockey). In most games using balls, the play of the game follows the state of the ball as it is hit, kicked, or thrown by players. Balls are often used in ball dropping functions such as in the famous Times Square New Year's Eve ceremony. Balls were used in ancient times by the early Egyptians, the ancient Greeks and Romans, and t ...

Stability is one of the most important disc properties when choosing a disc. There are three stability classifications, based on the behavior of a disc when thrown using a level right-handed backhand: Understable: An understable disc has a natural tendency to curve to the right during its flight when thrown backhand by a right-handed player. Stable: A stable disc will maintain a straight flight path. Overstable: An overstable disc that tends to curve to the left when thrown back ...

Hand grenade - Fragmentation grenades. The fragmentation grenade (commonly known as a "frag") is an antipersonnel device that is designed to damage or destroy its target with a burst of flying shrapnel. The body is made of hard plastic or steel. Flechettes, notched wire, or the case by itself provide the antipersonnel fragments. The filler may also include small metal balls to injure the target. When the word "grenade" is used without qualification and context does not suggest otherwise, it ...

While the terms ace, deuce, trey, cater, cinque and sice are hardly common today having been replaced with the ordinary names of the numbers one to six, they are still used by some professional gamblers to describe the different sides of the dice. Ace is from the Latin as, meaning "a unit" [2]; the others are the numbers 2–6 in old French. Dice - Probability. For a single roll, the probability of rolling each value, 1 through 6, is exactly 1 in 6. For a double roll, however, the total of both rolls is not evenly distributed, but is distributed in a ...

Hand grenade - Fragmentation grenades. The fragmentation grenade is an antipersonnel device that is designed to damage its target with a burst of flying shrapnel. The body is made of hard plastic or steel, and flechettes or notched wire provide the antipersonnel shrapnel fragments. The filler may also consist of small metal balls to penetrate the target. When the word "grenade" is used without qualification, and context does not suggest otherwise, this is the kind of grenade usually meant. These grenades are usually classed as defensive grenades because the effecti ...

Grenades come in different sizes and shapes, for different purposes. Most are designed to explode, projecting shrapnel i.e. sharp pieces of the casing or serrated wire or an incendiary material. Some, like smoke grenades, merely burn, releasing colored smoke for marking or signaling. All grenades have two things in common: First, they are hollow so they can be filled with the explosive or chemical filler. Second, they contain a threaded h ...

Grenades come in different sizes and shapes, for different purposes, but all have two things in common. First, they are hollow so they can be filled with the explosive or chemical filler. Second, they contain a threaded hole into which a fuse can be screwed or inserted. A grenade is essentially a small bomb, and works very much like a simple firecracker. A firecracker is made up of a paper body filled with gunpowder and has a small fuse. Once lit, the fuse burns d ...

Polyhedral dice are dice with more or fewer than six sides. They were once almost exclusively used by fortune-tellers and in other occult practices, but they have become popular lately among players of wargames, trading card games, German-style board games, and role-playing games. Although polyhedral dice are a relative novelty during modern times, some ancient cultures appear to have used them in games (as evidenced by the presence of two icosahedral dice dating from the days of ancient Rome on display in the British ...

The most common dice are small cubes 1 to 2 cm along an edge, whose faces are numbered from one to six (usually by patterns of dots called pips). It is traditional to assign pairs of numbers that total seven to opposite faces (it has been since at least classical antiquity); this implies that at one vertex the faces 1, 2 and 3 intersect. It leaves one other abstract design choice: the faces representing 1, 2 and 3 respectively can be placed in either clockwise or a ...

Some people believe that dice can be used for divination. Using dice for such a purpose is called cleromancy. A pair of standard 6-sided dice is generally used. Astrological dice are a specialized set of three 12-sided dice for divination, using the concepts of astrology and containing astrological symbols for the planets, the zodiac signs and the astrological houses. The first die represents planets, the Sun, the Moon, and two nodes (North Node and South Node). The second die represents the 12 zodiac signs, and the third represents t ...

The origin of the hand grenade is not a cohesive history, but rather involves the use of lightly ported, approximately fist-sized containers filled with noxious, explosive, or flammable substance, and designed to be thrown to release the held substance on impact with destructive effect. Archaic grenades were usually made of paper, ceramics, or primitive glass and could contain any sort of dangerous or unpleasant substance, ranging from botanical or animal toxins, skin irritants, lye, acids, flammable naptha, petroleum and unstable gun ...

Early grenades were usually made of paper, ceramics, or primitive glass and could contain any sort of dangerous or unpleasant substance, ranging from botanical or animal toxins, skin irritants, lye, acids, flammable naptha, petroleum and unstable gunpowder, diseased matter, or parasite eggs (such as locusts, lice, fleas). The use of the word 'grenade' in the English language apparently originated in the Glorious Revolution, where cricket ball-sized iron spheres packed with gunpowder and fitted with slow-burning wicks were first used a ...
