  4. A triangular cupola and a gyroelongated square bipyramid. Both are Johnson solids. (mathworld.wolfram.com/JohnsonS) #polydron Named after Norman Johnson (1930-2007), an American mathematician.

  5. This is a truncated icosahedron. (next to it the rhombicosidodecahedron I posted earlier) Truncated, because you truncate the vertices from a regular icosahedron. You can also call it a ‘football’ or ‘soccer ball’ if you live across the pond.
    It has 32 surfaces and is an Archimedean solid. #Polydron

  6. Do you know a pleasing way to colour the 20 faces of a regular icosahedron with 4 colours (so that faces meeting at an edge are different colours)? Or equivalently, can you colour the 20 vertices of a regular dodecahedron with four colours (so that vertices at each end of of an edge are different colours)?
    You might wonder why use only 4 colours? The reason is that a sample #polydron pack has 20 equilateral triangles in only 4 colours.
