I found a very strange 6 sided dice last week. Instead of the normal (1,2,3,4,5,6) this dice was labeled (2,4,8,16,32,64). I thought it was pretty cool so I kept it.
Anybody else seen a dice like this?

It's probably a "Backgammon Doubling Cube":

my kernel uses that to figure out how much MB's of rams a system has

That's good to know. I would have just thought it was some weird dice.
