Talk:Truncated icosahedron

message: I tried playing around with layout--in IE on my screen there are weird white spaces that I can't seem to correct.  (The white spaces were there even before I edited it.)  It looks OK in Opera, but even there the football pic winds up all alone under the table.  4.236.78.198 17:32, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Is there an article on the naming nomenclature of plyhedra or Archimedean solids or whatever? Dalf | Talk 06:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yea I figured it was the corners after looking at a catagory and opening 8 articles that were truncated polyhedra of some sort.  Looks like about 80% of the articles link to truncated or truncate which is a read link.  I think [[Truncation (geometry) might be a better name though as there is no article at any of the location I suppose Tuncation would be as good a place as any.  The 1/3 thing and other details should be explained somehwere, and if it does not deserv its own article one or emore of the above articles shludl be redirected to whereever it is explained.

replies: text:  There's ennumerable improvements like this, and you have no disagreement from me, just time. Probably polyhedron is the best place to describe terminology. Tom Ruen 08:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  What does the Truncated part mean? 

message: Given the diameter of a Truncated Icosahedron sphere, how to figure out the side length of associated hexagons and pentagons?--Jdpan 19:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to an old book I have here, the ratio of the length of an edge of a truncated icosahedron to the radius of a CIRCUMSCRIBED sphere is  2*sin(theta/2), where theta is the angle subtended by an edge (in this case, about 23° 17'), or about 0.4036.   For an inscribed or "interscribed" sphere, the results would be different... AnonMoos (talk) 19:54, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dome construction using Truncated Icosahedron  

message: I think that the "tritium" (or its container) in Spider Man 2 had the shape of a truncated icosahedron... --Itub 15:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  A popular culture reference 

message: Are there any sources for this jocular term for this polyhedron? Seems worthy of inclusion.--Koro Neil (talk) 16:25, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: All of the couple dozen google hits trace back to this talk page or - via mention of his name, or repetition of his phrases - to one Rob Farley. Too obscure for inclusion.   (Did you already know that? Or do you know him?)--Jerzy•t 03:33, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Isoccerhedron" 

message: "this shape" seems to refer not only to truncated icosahedrons, but also to to icosahedrons themselves.
[And some of the applications are only applications of icosahedrons, and not truncated icosahedrons.]  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.130.74.174 (talk) 04:34, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

message: I believe the origin ball from Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a truncated icosahedron. if someone could verify and add to the article, that would be nice! QuantumChaosTheory (talk) 20:55, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
