  • Publication number: 20040262838
    Abstract: The IKOS holistic game of this invention comprises a semi-regular geometric solid of 32 faces. 12 faces are regular pentagons interfaced to 20 equilateral triangles. The polyhedron also comprises 60 equal upstand edges each one of which subtends 36 degrees at the centroid of the polyhedron. It also comprises 30 equal vertices at which four edges and four faces meet. The surface elements 1 of the IKOS are of seven distinct colors, with each surface element being of one color only. There are six sets of like colored surface elements with two pentagons and ten up-stands in each set. All the triangular panels are in the seventh, neutral, shade. Also included is a method of designing the 32'dron on a CAD system.

  • Patent number: 6398221
    Abstract: The polyhedron globe puzzle system of this invention comprises a plurality of scalene triangles with attachment means so as to form a generally spherical body on which is inscribed a world map such that the position of the scalene triangles contains latent and patent information and intelligence about the geography of the world map including but not limited to longitudinal and latitudinal information. The 360 edges of the 240'dron form themselves into 21 circumscribing polygons which, when projected on to a concentric true sphere, become Great Circles.
