Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I recently acquired a puzzle through the mail and am not sure what it is called. I'll give a shot at describing it: It has 14 sides - 8 triangles, and 6 squares. The squares are rotated 45 degrees and each touch 4 other squares at the corners, while their sides match up with 4 triangles each. You could achieve the shape of this puzzle by taking a cube and shaving off the corners to create an equilateral triangle. There are no markings or words on it. If anybody knows, please let me know, as I am curious if this is the Magic Dodecahedron I've been reading about. Thanks, Scottie
