Did you know that [the maximum number of sides](https://www.wired.com/2016/05/mathematical-challenge-of-designing-the-worlds-most-complex-120-sided-dice) for a mathematically fair die is 120?

I thought it was just providing that message as a factoid, since it’s not like its rolling a physical dice, but it seems like it won’t go over 120.

I’m sorry, it is mathematically impossible to roll that combination of dice. 😖
