For whatever reason I had a sudden recollection of a high school moment: Entering a classroom where the final (test) for a solid geometry class was to be taken. Graduation to Senior year was on all minds... we pile into the room, take seats, then look up at the blackboard. On that board was writ:

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 20pt"><span style="color: #CC9933">FOR YOUR FINAL GRADE, PLEASE DEFINE:

Stellated Pseudorhombicuboctahedron</span></span></span>


TOTAL PANIC!!!!

Our teacher was a jokester. :laugh:
 
Did the jokester survive? HS can be brutal, or so I have been informed.
 
In geometry, the elongated square gyrobicupola or pseudorhombicuboctahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J37). The 92 Johnson solids were named and described by Norman Johnson in 1966.

Need I go on. Now please ask something that will at least tax the brain cells.

This was done to HS solid G students ~in~ 1966. Johnson was NOT on their radar.
