Yes, this was an actual fact, right smack in the middle of an article about hummingbird migration. Just so ya know.
Hummingbirds do not migrate on the backs of geese. |

It's possible to have 77 givens and still be unable to solve a Suduko puzzle. Apparently.
Thor's word of the day: Rhomicuboctahedron. Your challenge; How many sides? 77 was a famous Swedish border password in the war, because it was so hard for the enemy to pronounce correctly

I think you missed a 'b' in there, Monster.
I have one of these on my doodad shelf at work. They were all the rage in the 80's. It is an Rhombicuboctahedron, sort of.

I actually went back and checked, and I'm not sure I have made one of those! I have done a rhombitruncated cuboctahedron, and it was one of my early ones.

I'm not sure what they were called, 'cause I only ever saw them being sold by street vendors. The black and white one I've got came from a street vendor in NYC.
