It takes 6 lines (sticks) to make a tetrahedron and that was the

The sticks are all the same length, uncut and none were bent. The
motion occurred at the A&B points assuming you close the tetrahedron
at C of the base triangle.

But I think (although you snipped it) that glue was involved.

Nobody said it was going to be a stable structure, just that it
exists. You could certainly prop it up and it would stay if there was
no external force shaking it apart.
This is really just an exercise to encourage people to think in 3
dimensions. Don't put more in it than was intended.

My way was more sensible.

Listerine was invented in the 19th century as powerful surgical antiseptic. It was later sold, in a very distilled form, as both a floor cleaner and a cure for gonorrhea. But it wasn't a runaway success until the 1920s, when it was pitched as a solution to "chronic halitosis", the faux medical term that the Listerine advertising group created in 1921 to describe bad breath. By creating a "medical condition" for which consumers now felt they needed a cure, Listerine created the market for their mouthwash. Until that time, bad breath was not conventionally considered catastrophic, but Listerine's ad campaign changed that. In just seven years, the company's revenues rose from $115,000 to more than $8 million.

The Celsius scale remains a centigrade scale in which there are 100
degrees from the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) of
water, though the size of the degree has been more precisely defined.

You forgot to mention that the boiling point of "clean" water is (100°C) at "sea level". ヽ(ヅ)ノ

to name something after yourself or another person rather than using a

those was on "Platonic polyhedra", 3-dimendional shapes with all sides
the same 2-dimensional shape. There are five:

tetrahedron, 4 triangles
cube, 6 squares

True, I must stop drinking that strong coffee in the evenings :-)

There must be some reason you only need 4 hours sleep.

It's just natural to me. I'm not unique to it.

It's bloody unusual.

Does that link give stats?

If you'd read it, you'd know that answer.

You already know, so you tell me instead of me having to spend time on it.

I didn't read all of it, I just sent the link to show you that others
only need little sleep as well.

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.
I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"
"No," she answered.
I then said, "Is that your final answer?"
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes...."
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And that's when the fight started...

Nope Giggle up tetrahedron


Yes, it's a tetrahedron.

Since my mother worked in a library, she was exposed to a lot of
different pieces of information. She also got to use the copy machine
free, and often brought home copies of books or parts of books. One of
those was on "Platonic polyhedra", 3-dimendional shapes with all sides
the same 2-dimensional shape. There are five:

tetrahedron, 4 triangles
cube, 6 squares
octahedron, 8 triangles
dodecahedron, 12 pentagons
icosahedron, 20 triangles

I even know one 4-dimensional version: tesseract

Can any of the above be put to a useful use?
