The thing I want

A tetrahedron, each face marked with three symbols, one at each edge. The three edges adjacent to any face share a common symbol.

The four distinct symbols: I3 Φ e π

1) I'm sorry, I misread your labeling. That works just fine.

2) I can see where you would get that impression from what I wrote, but what I meant was that all three edges adjacent to a given face would have the same symbol, i.e. so that they unambiguously define a value for that face. This does correspond to a typical d4 layout.

3) It's not so much a joke as a thing that amused me.

Ah,dawn breaks over Marblehead. You just want a 4 sided die with some different symbols on them - and yes, those symbols would be amusing on a die.

I'm more confused than ever. This must be one of those things that requires an ejumacation or sumfin. I'll go back to flippin' burgers.

They're mathematical representations, particularly useful in advanced maths. You must be familiar with pi at least.
