About RobertLovesPi

I go by RobertLovesPi on-line, and am interested in many things, a large portion of which are geometrical. Welcome to my little slice of the Internet. The viewpoints and opinions expressed on this website are my own. They should not be confused with those of my employer, nor any other organization, nor institution, of any kind.

The rhombic enneacontahedron has 90 faces; 30 are narrow rhombi (hidden here), and 60 are wider rhombi (decorated with the op art piece from two posts ago).
