yeah. I think his website is extremely old and hasn’t been updated in the last decade or so. Despite this I linked to it because he is a legend in this field and so i think this is still the definitive reference.
As far as i understand, part of the story as to why dodecahedron and the cube fall short is due their non-triangular faces.
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y agoDid the article switch the dodecahedron and icosahedron? It specified that the icosahedron is optimal for 12 points and the dodecahedron for 20 which seems backwards to me.
- extremelearning 5y agoI believe it is right. However, I often get these two intuitively mixed up because: Icosahedron: 12 points, 20 faces (and 30 edges) Dodecahedron: 20 points, 12 faces (and 30 edges)
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y agoHmm, that explains it.
