Unusual building blocks based on close-packed spheres
Mathematician and artist George Hart (who writes our Math Monday column), created a cool set of six building blocks by slicing up and combining bits of these rhombic dodecahedra.

She says: After a conversation with my friend, who dressed up as “Calvin” for Halloween, I got around to thinking…. it would be awfully neat to make a Hobbes stuffed animal. With all […]
