Is it a dodecahedron? (sp?).

KatyMac · 03/06/2008 23:30

Apparently "There are no polyhedrons which use only hexagons, as three hexagons at a vertex would make a flat surface. However, a buckyball uses both hexagons and pentagons."

If it was pentagons it would be a dodecahedron....but that doesn't help, does it?

smartiejake · 03/06/2008 23:31

No a dodecahedron is 12 pentagons which make a 3D shape.
