Description :
|
A twisted small stellated dodecahedron (viewed close to a three-fold axis).
One of the features of the twisted polyhedra is that each strut is
paired with a parallel line on the other side of the centre through
which lots of struts (possibly extended) pass. This feature is quite
striking in this view. Three parallel struts are seen end-on, each paired
with a line of crossing. Of the other struts, 24 pass through just
one line, and three pass through two. Here is another example showing a
crossing line in a twisted cube
The property is taken good advantage of in this
30 Notched Sticks
puzzle. The configuration of the pale sticks is a mirror image of
that of the hexagonal sticks, with the two being related by a central
inversion.
