3-4 duoprism
In geometry of 4 dimensions, a 3-4 duoprism, the second smallest p-q duoprism, is a 4-polytope resulting from the Cartesian product of a triangle and a square.

gollark: > this is how everyone's mindset should look like for building a better society.This is also subjective.
gollark: > but I don't care about human rights of people who don't care about human rights of other peopleGreat, so you picked that *subjective* judgement, okay.
gollark: Other primates are pretty social and whatnot, even some birds have tool use, I've heard that the main advantage we has is just good transfer learning capability.
gollark: Many animals can do many of the things human can.
gollark: Nobody is very sure where that line is.
