Extract

1. Introduction

In [1] the following three questions have been asked, and answered: For which values of f is there a convex polyhedron whose faces consist of

  • (i) f triangles? (Ans f = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, …)

  • (ii) f quadrilaterals? (Ans f = 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, …)

  • (iii) f pentagons? (Ans f = 12, 16, 18, 20, 22, …)
