A while back I talked about how, even when google selects the “wrong” result, you can still usually find what you’re looking for when you get there. Here is a pretty ironic counter-example:

The top result for “Twenty Sided” is this site. Still, if the searcher has the wit to add “dice” to their query, they should be taken to where they want to go. Which is probably not here. :)

    I don’t know why someone who was looking for twenty-sided dice wouldn’t want to poke around here. It’s not like the difference between itsatrap.com and itsatrap.net……

  2. Yeah, but you are right after the wikipedia entry when you search for twenty sided dice.
    And when you search for dice, you get a tech-related job search engine.

    why would someone google “twenty-sided dice”? What could they possible need to know?

    How many sides it has.
