A cube can be alternately truncated producing tetrahedral symmetry, with six hexagonal faces, and four triangles at the truncated vertices.

Famous quotes containing the word related:

    The custard is setting; meanwhile
    I not only have my own history to worry about
    But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
    Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
    Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
