In geometry, a near-miss Johnson solid is a strictly convex polyhedron, where every face is a regular or nearly regular polygon, and excluding the 5 Platonic solids, the 13 Archimedean solids, the infinite set of prisms, the infinite set of antiprisms, and the 92 Johnson solids.
The set of near-misses is not exactly defined, but can be loosely defined as convex polyhedra that can be approximately constructed from rigid regular polygon faces as a physical model. Because of the "fuzziness" of this definition, the exact number of near-misses is not known.
