Abstract
I saw a spherical icosidodecahedron in 1956. Later I have had some
insights, which have been new for me. The most common cognition has
been, that any single answer brings more than one new question. In
this paper I am listing some of both. Examples: -- Do rhombic
triacontahedra fill the 3D-space twice? -- Concave rhombic triacontahedron
as a single 3D-space filler. -- A slim pentagon as a single
aperiodic 2D-space filler with 109 different vertices. -- The biggest
cuboctahedron inside of an icosidodecahedron seems related with the
slim pentagon. -- Pull a dodecahedron to be a tetrahedron. -- Move/turn
the faces/edges of any Platonic, Archimedean or Kepler-Poinsot solid
or their duals to create any other of those.
