    The following are exercise solutions. You shouldn't go to them without first thinking about the exercise:

    • how many faces, edges, and vertices are there in each platonic solid ?
    • how can an icosahedron be inscribed in a cube ?
    • how many faces can an equilateral deltahedron have ?
    • what is another way to color the compound of 5 tetrahedra ?
    • what is inside the compound of 5 cubes ?
    • how can the compound of 5 octahedra be a stellation of a 20-faced icosahedron when 5*8=40 ?
    • why do deltahedra have an even number of faces ?
    • which Johnson solids are chiral ?
    • which Johnson solids have more than one axis of symmetry ?
    • can you make a zonohedron with 20 faces ?
    • for which rhombi are there two parallelepipeds ?
