Mike, is there a good way to draw the 24 heptagons, with the edge identifications marked? I tried a couple of simple symmetric arrangements of heptagons, but couldn't get a nice arrangement of 24.
Klein barycentrically divided the heptagons and then spread the pieces out to make it symmetric around a central heptagon. It's pretty straightforward to come up with a chiral, rotationally symmetric pattern if you center on a point where three heptagons meet. You can find lots of nice pictures here: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/klein.html

Sorry, I meant hyperbolic regular heptagons. -- Mike Stay - metaweta@gmail.com http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~mike http://reperiendi.wordpress.com
