  1. Playing around with an office magnet toy and made a shape I think is fun. It's right pentagonal prism with two of the prism edges removed. So we end up with a shape that's got two pentagons, one rectangle, and a two skew hexagons. (Or, the pentagons can be skew too, or the two hexagons can be plane I think though that is not actually feasible with the magnet toy.)

    Its Euler characteristic is 10 - 13 + 5 = 2, just like a real polyhedron. :)
