We had a thread at Matrix Games, about 15 years ago, while they were porting World in Flames. The topic was spherical projections.
I contributed by covering Fuller's Dymaxion map with hexes at 100 miles (160 km) per hex. It keeps all the land masses intact, no breaks, with minimal distortion, basically a contiguous map of the Earth.
Of course, Fuller would have vehemently opposed using his map for a wargame.

331 followers · 404 posts · Server mathstodon.xyzFor those of you who have regular tetrahedra-packing on your minds, here is a reminder of how irritated I am that a regular #icosahedron cannot be constructed from 20 regular #tetrahedra.
For some reason, I occasionally feel the need to mention that again…and again…😁.

There are 4- and n-d analogs of polyhedra, called #polytopes. Instead of polygons meeting at vertices and enclosing a volume of 3-space, you have (in 4-d) polyhedra meeting at vertices and enclosing a volume of 4-space. You can argue one of these is analogous to an icosahedron, but only analogous.

Close second is #icosahedron because I am a #DnD player.

I like your triangles sculpture!

I think is true...it is something that I stumbled upon about 5 years ago while constructing these things https://mathstodon.xyz/@HypercubicPeg/109370268881128440.
What do you think @panlepan?

Theories about the use of a Roman #dodecahedron #icosahedron
The theory about them being a device for studying coins is interesting.
I'd say, different holes for measuring something? Spaghetti? 🍝

Something I made that is possibly older than some of you, but I don’t think that it is as old as my first computer.
