[math-fun] Tetranacci Tetrahedron
Let t^2 =1.92756 be the tetranacci constant. Build a tetrahedron with edgelengths t^0 opposite t^3 t^1 opposite t^1 t^2 opposite t^2 This has 4 similar triangles of 2 sizes. If this tetrahedron is rolled on its edges, it only reaches 12 different orientations. -Ed Pegg Jr
Not sure that I've understood this --- is it a statement about the symmetry group of some isohedral tiling of the plane? WFL On 12/18/19, ed pegg <ed@mathpuzzle.com> wrote:

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RollingPolyhedronGraph.html https://math.stackexchange.com/users/11955/ed-pegg If you roll the tetra-tetra on the plane, toppling it over edges, there are only 12 orientations while rolling.
