<The tesseract, or hypercube, has <-4 dimensions, <-16 vertices -OK so far-, <- 32 edges, not 30 (not too hard to see; you have 12 edges in the cube <you begin with, another 12 edges in the cube you end with, and eight <edges connecting each vertex in the first cube with its homologue in <the second cube) <-24 faces, not 18 (again, 6 faces in cube 1 plus 6 faces in cube 2, <plus 12 faces connecting each edge of cube 1 with its homologue in <cube 2) <-and last but not least, 8 cubical "faces" (cube 1, cube 2, and 6 <cubes connecting each face of cube 1 with its homologue in cube 2) Ah! Thank you Frank, I can't count very well, I'm afraid. Never thought of the cubical "faces"... very cool! Would a 5th dimensional hypercube then have 24 cubical "faces" and 8 hypercubical "faces"? These things get complicated quickly! -- ---- __ __ () _ _ __ __ _ _ __ __ ___ ___ o | \_|_\ | \/ |--| '(| =| | \| |/o \ " /|_/ O | O ) () o |_|_| | |_\__/_|__|_|_|__| |_|\__|_/\_|_|___|__/|_\_\ o_/||\/ \|__\| Michael Naylor, mna...@math.fsu.edu, (904) 644-8433 _/\_
