[math-fun] poly (regular) polyhedra
I've been working out counts of polypolyhedra by hand. (regular polyhedra, left-right mirror pairs count as only 1) volume 1 2 3 4 5 polytetrahedra 1 1 1 3 7 polycubes 1 1 2 7 ... polyoctahedra 1 1 3 11 polydodecahedra 1 1 3 16 polyicosahedra 1 1 4 33 I find the visualization is hard, and diagrams only help a little. Notes: 3 dodecahedra will fit around an edge, and 4 will fit around a vertex. 3 icosahedra will not fit around an edge, nor 4 around a vertex. 3 icosahedra will fit around a vertex. Rich

I haven't heard of polypolyhedra before. Is this what you're talking about? http://www.langorigami.com/science/polypolyhedra/polypolyhedra.php4 -- Mike Stay metaweta@gmail.com http://math.ucr.edu/~mike
