unless it's flying.
it's always 15 to 20,

but it's never 21,
unless it's flying.
Answer: The answer is: a dice. An explanation:
"It's always 1 to 6": the numbers on the faces of the dice,
"it's always 15 to 20": the sum of the exposed faces when the dice comes to rest after being thrown,
"it's always 5": the number of exposed faces when the dice is at rest,
"but it's never 21": the sum of the exposed faces is never 21 when the dice is at rest,
"unless it's flying": the sum of all exposed faces when the dice is flying is 21 (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6).
