As I commented to Simon on Mono last month:
  • The tetrahedron is too dull. I mean, self-dual? What's the point of that?
  • The cube is very functional and useful, but not really exciting.
  • The icosahedron is a bit too busy, and like a sphere having a bad day.
  • The dodecahedron is just showing off. Really, pentagons? Smug thing.
The octahedron is pleasantly surprising. It look all wide and square when you look at it with a vertex towards you, then tall and thin when with an edge towards you. And when placed flat on a table, it taunts and teases with its antiprismness, the cheeky little thing.
