	Index: Platonic and Archimedean Solids (69-79)
		The five regular convex polyhedra, or Platonic solids, are the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron (75 - 79), with 4, 6, 8, 12, and 20 faces, respectively.
		A polyhedron and its dual have the same number of edges (12 for a cube and an octahedron, but the numbers of vertices and faces are interchanged).
		Thus we obtain the truncated cube (69), the truncated tetrahedron (70), the truncated octahedron (74).

	Truncated Trickery: Truncatering
		The truncated square is formed in much the same way: Remove the corners to make equilateral triangles, and the original square faces of the cube become octagons.
		This happens because the dual of the cube is the octahedron, and truncating along planes that meet in the centers of the faces is the same as constructing the dual of the original shape.
		Surprisingly, truncating along the edges and corners of the tetrahedron yields four new triangular faces on the vertexes and six square faces along the edges.

	Octahedron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An octahedron (plural: octahedra) is a polyhedron with eight faces.
		Thus the volume is four times that of a regular tetrahedron with the same edge length, while the surface area is twice (because we have 8 vs. 4 triangles).
		If each edge of an octahedron is replaced by a one ohm resistor, the resistance between opposite vertices is 1/2 ohms, and that between adjacent vertices 5/12 ohms.

		The others are the cube, the octahedron (with 8 equilateral triangle faces, made by gluing together the bases of two square pyramids with equal edge lengths), the icosahedron (with 20 equilateral triangular faces), and the dodecahedron (with 12 pentagonal faces).
		A polyhedron and its dual have the same number of edges (12 for a cube and an octahedron, for example) but the numbers of vertices and faces are interchanged.
		Thus we obtain the truncated cube, the truncated tetrahedron, the truncated octahedron.

		The truncated octahedron is also known as the permutohedron, as its vertices can be given coordinates in 4-dimensional space that are the permutations of the vector (1,2,3,4).
		The Truncated Rhombic Dodecahedron is the first example of a cubic zonohedron not resulting from the inflation operation (in inflated graphs, every vertex belongs to a quadrilateral face, while this graph has vertices all of whose adjacent faces are hexagons).
		The Truncated Small Rhombicosidodecahedron is the result of applying the inflation operation to the Rhombic Triacontahedron or to the Icosidodecahedron.

		This hexa-octahedron has the form of a regular octahedron which is expanded in the direction of one of its 3-fold axes, producing six new parallelogram faces.
		This truncation can be done so the six new faces lie in the planes of a cube.
		The six truncation faces (in the planes of a cube) are constructed as g1-g1-g1-b1-b1 (adjoin a g1 square and half a b1 square).

		The notation describing this solid states that a triangle (3), a square (4), a triangle (3) and a square (4) meet at each of the vertices.
		This solid however can also be formed through the assemblage of the hexahedron and its dual, the octahedron using a common centre.
		This truncated hexahedron or more commonly known as the cuboctahedron which is also one of the quasi-regular polyhedra is derived from the compound of the hexahedron and the octahedron as is shown above.

		To cut off the corners of the octahedron, we move in the same distance from each corner along the edges.
		This process shortens the side lengths of the edges in the original octahedron by the same amount.
		Notice that it also doubles the number of edges -- changing the green triangular faces of the octahedron (left) into green hexagonal faces in the truncated octahedron (right).

	Parallel Expansions
		Keep in mind that if two base polyhedra can both be expanded to form the same new polyhedron, then we have a new way of transforming between the two base polyhedra.
		For example, the cube and octahedron can both be expanded to form the rhombicuboctahedron.
		So if we want to transform from cube to octahedron, we can do so by expanding the cube to form the rhombicuboctahedron, and then contracting the rhombicuboctahedron to form the octahedron:
