Icosahedral prism

In geometry, an icosahedral prism is a convex uniform 4-polytope (four-dimensional polytope). This 4-polytope has 22 polyhedral cells: 2 icosahedra connected by 20 triangular prisms. It has 70 faces: 30 squares and 40 triangles. It has 72 edges and 24 vertices.

Propertiesconvex

It can be constructed by creating two coinciding icosahedra in 3-space, and translating each copy in opposite perpendicular directions in 4-space until their separation equals their edge length.

It is one of 18 convex uniform polyhedral prisms created by using uniform prisms to connect pairs of parallel Platonic solids or Archimedean solids.

gollark: No, I mean presumably it would be easier for you to not pray than to pray, and it is not as if an omnipotent god requires it.
gollark: They could just not have you pray in the first place.
gollark: Wait, buried in space?
gollark: Well, if you move to a higher orbit, the issue is resolved because the angle between the Mecca and wherever you end up pointing becomes smaller than the error of pointing at things in the first place.
gollark: They also have to pray 5 times every 90 minutes if in low Earth orbit.
