 +  * **Nice Dice.** A "nice" set comprises dice that are all isohedral shapes that are not lenses or rolling logs ("nice" is definitely subjective, since 2//n//-lens-shaped dice with small //n// values are definitely functional and pleasing enough for some folks' tastes). Also, a d2 (a coin) is not considered "nice", but that is purely the opinion of this author (Eric). "Nice" side counts, therefore, are the following: 4, 6, 8, 12, 20, 24, 30, 48, 60, and 120.\\ \\

-    * **Mirror Symmetry** occurs when a dice set's alphabetic string is palindromic (reads the same forward as it does backward). This type of symmetry is often called "Palindromic", for obvious reasons. Here is an example: <code>ccbbbaaaaaabbbccccccccbbbaaaaaabbbcc</code>Physical dice within a set that has mirror symmetry have the property that all pairs of opposite faces (of all of the dice) add up to the same number.+    * **Mirror Symmetry** occurs when a dice set's alphabetic string is palindromic (reads the same forward as it does backward).
