-An icosahedron has 20 faces in the shape of congruent equilateral triangles, 30 edges and 12 verticesand 15 planes of symmetry. By shearing the vertices of the icosahedron, we obtain a semi-formal polyhedron called the truncated icosahedron.

-The hour hand makes revolutions per day, while the minute hand makes 24 revolutions so it passes the hour hand 22 times. To put it another wayduring each hour the hands pass each other once, except for 11:00-12:00 and 23:00-24:00 when the minute hand "catches up" with the hour hand at the end of the hour.
