Comment on What are the most mindblowing fact in mathematics?

Here’s a fun one - you know the concept of regular polyhedra/platonic solids right? 3d shapes where every edge, angle, and face is the same? How many of them are there?
Did you guess 48?
There’s way more regular solids out there than the bog standard set of DnD dice! Some of them are easy to understand, like the Kepler-poisont solids which basically use a pentagramme in various orientations for the face shape (hey the rules don’t say the edges can’t intersect!) To uh…This thing. And more! This video is a fun breakdown (both mathematically and mentally) of all of them.
Unfortunately they only add like 4 new potential dice to your collection and all of them are very painful.

I believe this is the primary distinction
