It looks Try looking up a book on geodesic domes (there are several such books around...) Another book worth looking up is called "Mathematical Models" by Cundy and Rollett (Oxford) - it has many of the solids. Another author to look for is H. S. M. Coxeter, a geometer who has quite a number of fascinating books at several mathematical levels. Then you will know such trivia as what a great rhombicosidodecahedron is :-) - Jim
