I think my favorite Johnson solid has to be the Snub Disphenoid. The idea that a "digon" (line) has a use case at all as a polygon, despite being degenerate, is just so funny to me.

[@terdragontra8900]

yes! i get a weird sense of joy using degenerate cases in math, such as for example, 0! = 1actually being intuitive if you think about it, there really is exactly one way to arrange 0 items in a line on your desk after all.

[@Omicron23-sj4wu]

Yeah! I once tried designing a Rubik's-cube-like twisty puzzle with the snub disphenoid. It bent my brain.

I like the snub disphenoid, partly because the name is silly and partly because Vsauce mentioned it, mostly because I think it's pretty.

I can't describe my panic at the Dungeons & Dragons table looking at my dice and realizing that there were so few regular platonic solids. I bothered my DM about it for weeks. And then finally I saw in a video showed there are very many regular platonic solids as long as you don't care what space looks like, and that put my mind at ease. A good collection of *almost* regular objects is going to seriously put my mind at ease. I should make plush versions of these solids to throw around during other hair pulling math moments. Yeah this is really giving context to the wikipedia deep dive I tried to do. Lots of pretty pictures but they didn't make sense until you showed the animations.

[@TrueAnts1]

d10 and percentile dice are pentagonal trapezohedrons

[@estherstreet4582]

If you want more dice, the catalan solids all make nice fair dice. The disdyakis tricontrahedron makes a particularly great dice, with 120 sides you can replicate any "standard" single dice roll by just dividing the result, since 4,6,8,10,12,20 are all factors of 120.

[@emilyrln]

Plush solids would be so cute! Might want to use mid- to heavy-weight interfacing on the faces so they don't all turn into puffy balls when stuffed with polyfill… although that could be cute, too, especially if you marked the edges somehow, e.g. by sewing on some contrasting ribbon or cord (you could ignore this step or use different colors for the adjacent faces). Now I want to make some 😂 I sewed some plushie ice cream cones recently and have been itching to make more cute things.

[@dysphoricpeach]

this is fast becoming my favorite video on youtube. i'm so happy to see that there are other people out there who care this much about polyhedra. the disdyakis triacontahedron is also my favorite, it's like a highly composite solid! just as 120 is highly composite! this is closely followed by the rhombic dodecahedron (because it's like the hexagon of solids!) and then the rhombic triacontahedron. this video has taught me so much, like how snubs work, and the beautiful relationship between the archimedean and catalan solids. not to mention half triakis (i had always wondered how someone could think up something as complex as the pentagonal hexacontahedron.) and johnson solids! i hadn't even heard of them before this video! thanks for educating, entertaining, and inspiring me! i'm so glad i stumbled across this. 120/12, would recommend

​ @MichaelDolenzTheMathWizard en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_hexecontahedron

[@KakoriGames]

A few years ago I was very intrigued about a very similar thing, but with tetrominoes, aka tetris pieces. It's well know that there's only 5 ways to connect 4 squares on a plane, with 2 of them being chiral, hence the 7 tetris pieces we all know, but once you start to dig deeper you start to have so many questions. What about 5 squares? 6 squares? 7? What about other shapes, like triangles? Or maybe cubes in 3D, aka tetracubes? What if you keep only squares, but allow them to go in 3 dimensions (they are called Polyominoids)? Turns out there's lots of ways one could extend the idea of tetrominos, by either using different shapes, getting into higher dimensions or simply changing the rules of how shapes are allowed to connect.

[@Kuvina]

I've been interested in that also! Not counting reflections, there are 12 pentominoes, and it's a classic puzzle to arrange them into a rectangle. You can actually make 4 different types of rectangle, 3x20, 4x15, 5x12, and 6x10.

[@0ans4ar-mu]

my favourite solid has always been the truncated octahedron because it evenly tiles space with itself, and it has the highest volume-to-surface-area ratio of any single shape that does so. its the best single space filling polyhedra! if you were to pack spheres as efficiently as possible in 3d space, and then inflate them evenly to fill in the gaps, you get the truncated octahedron

[@AlphaFX-kv4ud]

So basically it's a 3d version of the hexagon

[@Currywurst-zo8oo]

I dont think thats quiet true. The shape you get when inflating spheres is a rhombic dodecahedron. You can see this by looking at the number of faces. The truncated octahedron has 14 faces but a sphere only has 12 neighboring spheres.

Wow, haven't seen so clean, concentrated and convenient explanation, without unnecessary effects it's even easier to understand. Your format is my favorite among others since I went in for geometry 11 years ago. My suggestion for next topic is "3D Honeycombs" because it's logical continuation of solids. There are "regular" ones which consist of the same solids you were talking about in this video. The particularly brilliant thing is there were found some irregular (!) 3D honeycombs. Most of them are of similar polyhedra, both convex and not. The only irregularity in them were the colors which cube faces had or something like this. But maybe there are some of them I missed which look like 3D version of Penrose tiling. Edit: Pentakis Dodecahedron is my favourite solid (the second one is Icosahedron) because it's one of the roundest solids which consists of equal polygons.

The Snub Dodecahedron looks so satisfying having a thick border of triangles around the pentagon, but there was something about that Pentagonal Hexacontahedron that I found really pretty.

The blender is incredible! I love the little introductory twirl tytytytyty

[@MrBrain4]

This is an incredible video. Fantastic job, and thank you!

[@kennyearthling7965]

I loved this, especially the explanation on why there are only 13 Archimedian solids, great work!

[@Enter54623]

This is the type of video I hope gets preserved after the internet gets destroyed or restricted or some great data loss happens within KZbin’s servers

[@realmless4193]

I've been looking for a good video about this exact topic for ages. So glad there finally is one.

[@BunchaWords]

I enjoy seeing these kind of videos about 3D solids, because it gives me a chance to try and build some of the shapes irl. I hadn't heard of the snub square antiprism before, that was my project to make during this video. I ended up making a poor paper one. I tried to make one with magnetic shapes, but the structure wasn't ever stable enough for me to properly connect it up. Still had a great time, tho! Solid video, thanks for introducing me to some new shapes!

[@brawlholic9960]

What about Chamfered Platonic solids(Goldberg polyhedra)? For instance, with Chamfering (edge-truncation) you can make from a Cube a Chamfered cube, and if you continue it leads to a Rhombic Dodecahedron wich is a Catalan solid! So if you think about it, you can skip the Archimedean solids which by the way are really similar (Chamfered cube-truncated octahedron, Chamfered Dodecahedron-Truncated Icosahedron) but not the same, and go straight to their Duals(Catalan)! I know that they made by congruent flattened hexagons/polygons instead of regular one but, aren't these unique solids worth mentioning or not?

[@greggregoryst7126]

Wow thats one great video. To go through so many cases It must've taken a long time to make, good stuff

Master video presentation!! very very well done! and thank you.

[@someasiandude4797]

Imagine having dice of every single one of these

[@ironicdivinemandatestan4262]

The Dice Lab is a company that makes some unusual ones. Their large set has a truncated tetrahedron, truncated octahedton, rhombic dodecahedron, deltoidal icosahedron, disdyakis dodecahedron, deltoidal hexecontahedron, and disdyakis triacontahedron.

[@Pablo360able]

Even as someone who knew where most of this was going in the first half, I didn't realize why you were delaying explaining the relationship between the cube, octahedron, and cuboctahedron until you started talking about duals.

[@mrbananahead2005]

I would love to see a video looking at the stellated versions of some of these and how the math works out for self-intersecting planes in these shapes

[@Patricia_Taxxon]

rooting for this channel

[@mekkler]

My favorite Catalan solid is the 30-sided rhombic polyhedron based on the Golden Ratio because I figured out how to make it in Sketchup. It is closely related to the icosahedron and dodecahedron.

[@TaranVaranYT]

same with the icosidodecahedron (which is pretty much if the two fused together dragon ball z style)

[@SineEyed]

If you're into Sketchup and geometry then you might find a few videos I've done on my channel to be interesting. Also, you guys know the Sketchup team does a livestream every Friday? Fun times..

[@RiskOfJeffy2]

I love the pentagonal hexecontahedron because it has 60 faces and also just looks really cool.

[@robo3007]

There is another category of almost platonic solids where you only use property 1 and 2 and don't care about the verticies being identical. These are the triangular bipyramid, pentagonal bipyramid, snub disphenoid, triaugmented triangular prism and gyroelongated square bipyramid, otherwise known as the irregular deltahedra.
