It would be fun to add a section Cuboctahedra in the arts, if anyone can remember which episode of Old Star Trek had the badguys zap some of the crew into the form of little plaster cubocs. --Anton Sherwood 01:33, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Then there's the legendary Coriolis stations in Elite. olofito 01:17, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Geometric relations

I think "L¹ ball" means a regular cross-polytope. —Tamfang 06:42, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, made the change (that sentence was my very first wikipedia contribution!). In other matters, it seems this section can use some cleaning up. The "Dymaxion" sentence, while interesting, doesn't seem to qualify as a geometric relation. There are statements about Johnson solids that are separated and should probably be together. Dshin

Eight triangles of unit base and height √3/2 gives 8*√3/4 = 2√3, not 4√3. Have I missed something? —Tamfang (talk) 08:23, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
