It wasn't until reading your comment that I actually looked at a soccer ball and worked out that they're not all hexagons. Now it feels stupid that I thought they were all the same shape. Funny how long some assumptions are carried - ie. forever if the situation never comes up to challenge it. (I live in a country where other sports are more popular than soccer, hence I call it soccer not football, so my familiarity with the soccer ball itself is not as intimate as in many European countries).
