I recently found just the things I wanted at a car-boot sale.
The way they were priced was interesting. |
|
| 5 | for | 10p |
|
12 | for | 18p |
|
14 | for | 20p |
|
19 | for | 24p |
|
|
I eventually worked out the 'logic' of the prices.
What did 11 cost me?

A deltahedron is a 3-dimensional shape all of whose faces are equilateral triangles.
The simplest of these is a regular tetrahedron, which is made of 4 equilateral triangles.
So it has 4 faces, 4 vertices, and 6 edges.
The deltahedron I have has 9 vertices.
How many faces does my deltahedron have?
