corrected spelling error "aon" -> "on", inserted steradians as appropriate

Then the two short edges are unstable, not matter how you throw your die you will not be able to make it land on a short edge, but the angle under which a short edge is seen is not zero. | |

corrected radii to 3 instead of 6, to keep center of mass at (0,0)
