Nanodots Sphere (icosahedron) 120 Dots


This is a sphere made out of 20 sides of triangles of 6 dots each, making the total dots required of 120 dots.

This sphere based on a icosahedron design, which is actually a 20 sided polyhedron.

Polyhedron

While playing with Nanodots and learning through lots of Tutorial videos from YouTube, I realized lots of big words that they used. Since I am NOT a mathematician, I decided to Google up what each of these words mean....

Polyhedron is a three-dimensional solid which consists of a collection of polygons, usually joined at their edges.

However the interesting part is not the polyhedron, but all the other polyhedron that exist. The following is the list
