| May 25, 2014 at 7:06 | comment | added | Mario Krenn | I think you are right, it's exactly what Conway wrote. I was searching for something like a 100-sided dice (and thought Conway described it), so there was a misunderstanding on my side. So thanks for this nice solution. :) | |
| May 24, 2014 at 23:53 | comment | added | user484 | @Mario: Conway says to divide "each face of a cube into 16 smaller "square" faces in the obvious way", and this was the most obvious way I could think of. :) Perhaps it would be better to make the configuration nonflat by moving vertices outward, but that requires an arbitrary choice of perturbation and the smaller faces would not remain square. The plotted figure is at least topologically/combinatorially correct, but I can delete the answer if you feel it is not the desired solution. | |
| May 24, 2014 at 23:34 | comment | added | Mario Krenn | I'm surprised. The 6 square-faces are divided into 4x4 faces, but this should also change the angles between the faces. Here, you have an angle of 180° between all of your 4x4 faces, and 90° between the 6 square-faces. I thought it might be a some (non-regular/non-symmetric) generalisations of a Icosahedron? Something like a 100-sided dice? | |
