I need help with a riddle: 8 around, and up and down. 5 are wide with one on its side. 4 are a bore, they stay on the floor. 1 wants to soar, it reaches for the sky. What am I?

>> No.2235084

how is it a die?

>> No.2235090

if it's a 6 sided die, what's the "8 around up and down" part about? wouldnt it be a d8?

>> No.2235107

>>2235090
A d6 has eight vertices, but I'm not convinced that this is the proper answer. What the hell is "5 wide" about?

Wheels on a vehicle?
Not sure how it works though.

Plz explain how it's wheels on a vehicle.

>> No.2235118

Is there any kind of die where 1 is opposite 4?

>> No.2235122

>>2235117
Just ideas. I thought that five with one of its side would be the four wheels and the spare wheel in the boot. Four would make sense too...? Actually it doesn't really work.

>> No.2235126

I think it's a square pyramid.

Five sides, one of which is horizontal.

Four points on the ground, and one at the top.

Dunno about the 8.

anything to do with roman or greek myth
planets, oceans, mountains.....

>> No.2235128

>>2235118
Well definitely not a d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d16 or d20.
But I think the 4 mentioned are the four sides that are facing out, not up to the ceiling or down on the table.

>> No.2235130

>>2235126
Oh the 8 is the edges. Done.

>> No.2235132
