Polyhedra construction (Posted on 2006-07-17) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A certain polyhedron is constructed such that each vertex is the intersection of five triangles. How many vertices are there?

Was that easy? Try these.

...such that each vertex is the intersection of...
1. three squares and a triangle
2. three triangles and a square
3. four triangles and a square
4. a triangle, square, pentagon, and square in that order
5. a decagon, hexagon, and square

Notice any patterns?
