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.

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: Wrong. It isn't the issue.
gollark: People assume quantum computers are magic do-anything boxes, that regular computers "can't be random", that AI is "incapable of creativity" or might randomly become "conscious"/"sentient"/humanlike and rebel, etc.
gollark: Perhaps people just don't actually care much about accurate beliefs in subjects they don't personally use much, and vaguely assume that whatever they know about those things is right enough to discuss politics and whatever.
gollark: There are, I imagine, a lot of issues in other fields I don't know as much about.
gollark: Quantum computing, anything about computers, a decent amount of physics, AI.
