  • What happens when you snub the Platonic Solids?
  • Which snubbed polyhedra are Archimedean Solids? Which are chiral?
  • What other extensions and transformations can you apply to 2D and 3D geometry to create new shapes?
  • Who is Harold Coxeter? How did he inspire M.C. Escher and Buckminster Fuller's work?
  • How would you write instructions for creating a specific snubbed shape? How can you test the instructions?
