irregular platonic solids
I noticed you can make a 12 sided
3-D solid that is not made of
pentagon sides, but the only problem
is that each side is a parrallelogram,
not a square. This can be achieved
by starting with a cube and building
diagonal faces off of the 12 edges
of the cube. You will end up with
kite shaped parrallelograms that have
diameters one unit and 1.4142136 units
or the square root of 2. Diameter in this
case means going across to opposite
corners of the kite shape.
