I have six faces but not even one body connected, 21 eyes in total but cannot see. What am I?

A dice

Why this works

This riddle cleverly plays with the dual meanings of "faces" and "eyes." A die (singular of dice) has six flat surfaces, which are referred to as "faces," and each face contains a different number of dots, or "eyes," that represent the numbers one through six. When you add up all the dots on a standard die, you get a total of 21 (1+2+3+4+5+6=21). The phrase "cannot see" emphasizes that, despite having "eyes," a die is an inanimate object and doesn’t have the ability to see like a living creature does. So, the answer is a die!

Common Wrong Answers

“A die”

While 'a die' is a singular form of 'dice', it does not capture the essence of the riddle, which emphasizes the plural aspect (six faces) and the total count of 'eyes'.

“A cube”

A cube may have six faces, but it does not have 'eyes' and is a solid object, which contradicts the part of the riddle that states it has no body connected.

“A box”

A box may have six faces, but it does not have any 'eyes' or represent the concept of counting, which is central to the riddle regarding dice.
