<< PS, did anybody look at intersecting four cylinders instead of cones? I'm not even sure how many faces this makes (http://gosper.org/face.jpg). Likewise the intersections of 6 and 10 cylinders corresponding to the higherhedra.
I don't know about the volumes, but if you need to visualize the intersections of cylinders, I have a few patterns that you can print, cut and glue: Two cylinders: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbprzd/2406337240/ Three cylinders: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbprzd/2416309795/ Four cylinders: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbprzd/2411443998/ and this is how they look when they are built: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbprzd/2413722387/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbprzd/2413722391/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbprzd/2416324827/ Best, Seb
