As title said, had low engine oil so whacked in a quart and then got this reading. Renault Clio, 1.0 litre petrol

UPDATE: It's overfilled and could be a problem, taking it to get air con service anyway so will just get them to drain some for me, I clearly can't be trusted with oil

In a post with the same picture, many commenters seem to believe that a die must be Platonic in order to be fair.

Here is the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/1tilwsy/request_assuming_they_both_are_perfectly_balanced/

This post is a resonse to that.

That is not true. The dice on the right are fair dice even though they are not Platonic.

A die with 10 kite-shaped faces is perfectly symmetric and (under obvious physical assumptions about homogeneity of the material etc) gives a fair dice.

The definition of Platonic solids is too strict to include all polyhedra that yield fair dice.

As long as the solid is "the same" when "seen from" every face, it will yield a fair die. That's obviously not necessary, but proving fairness without symmetries is a hell of a hard task.

In the picture, the one on the left is ridiculous. The faces are not even equal to each other, let alone the whole solid be equal as seen from each face.

I am a teacher. I worked at schools in the past and was underpaid. But I switched to working from home through freelancing platforms, and it made a huge difference. So, I advise every teacher to apply to online schools or work through freelance platforms. And if you get stuck during an interview, you can use an AI platform like InterviewMan to help structure your answers and boost your confidence.

If you were to unroll every single wavy strand in a standard pack of instant ramen, it would stretch out to about 50 meters (164 feet).

This seems insanely unhealthy at best…
