ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Great rhombihexacron

Okay kiddo, today we are going to talk about something super cool called a great rhombihexacron. It's a very fancy word but don't worry, I'll explain it simply.

Imagine you have a lot of triangular shapes and you want to join them together to make a big round ball. But instead of using just triangles, you also use rectangles to make things more interesting.

Now you have this huge ball made up of triangles and rectangles. It looks pretty special already right?

But wait, it gets better! What if we join even more triangles and rectangles to the ball so that it becomes bigger and bigger? That's exactly what we do with a great rhombihexacron.

This shape has 62 faces (or flat surfaces) in total. There are 20 equilateral triangles and 42 rectangles all joined together to make a big, unique shape.

It's not something you see every day, but it's pretty cool to know that we can create complex shapes like this by simply joining together a combination of triangles and rectangles.

So there you have it, a great rhombihexacron explained like you're five!
