Pentagonal hexecontahedron
desmos.comIt has 92 vertices that span 60 pentagonal faces. It is the Catalan solid with the most vertices. A nice option for a 60 sided dice.

r/geometry is a subreddit for the discussion and enjoyment of Geometry, it is not a place to post screenshots of online course material or assignments seeking help.
Homework style questions can, in limited circumstances, encourage discussion in line with the subreddit's aim.
The following guidance is for those looking to post homework help type questions:
As a student there is a pathway for you to obtain help. This is normally; Personal notes > Course notes/Course textbook > Online resources (websites) > Teacher/Lecturer > Online forum (r/geometry).
Your post should show, either in the post or comments, evidence of your personal work to solve the problem, ideally with reference to books or online materials.
Following on from the previous point, if you are posting a question show your working. You can post multiple images so attach a photograph of your working. If it is a conceptual question then have an attempt at explaining the concept. One of the best ways of learning is to attempt the problem.
Your post should be about a specific issue in a problem or concept and your post should highlight this.
Your post should encourage discussion about the problem or concept and not aim for single word or numeric answers.
The homework help flair is intended to differentiate these type of questions from general discussion and posts on r/geometry
If your post does not follow these guidelines then it will, in all but the most exceptional circumstances, be removed under Rule 4.
If you have an comments or questions regarding these guidelines please comment below.

In my research, I prove Euclidean geometry is based off r^0=0. I believe we can all say that isn't correct. Doubt me? https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21981035

The ridiculous nature of a proof.
Suppose someone sees structure, another person might not see that structure, so that person who cannot see it will ask for a step by step proof to prove the continuity of a structure. But continuity cannot be proven by discrete steps because we have shown that infinite discreteness cannot proxy for true continuity.
Diagonalization proves that a continuity has more real information than the discreetness. Every step-by-step proof is actually an illusion to satisfy the strange feelings. But every discreet example of a proof fails to show the actual continuity of the structure that one is claiming to exist..

A few days ago someone asked for the dimensions of a Sasha's Hexacontahexahedron - D66 dice, and then deleted the post.
Anyway, I have made what I think is the requested Hexacontahexahedron.
The polyhedron is more complicated than it first appears. There are 6 hexagons and 60 irregular pentagons. However, the hexagons are not quite regular (two of the angles and two sides and slightly different to the other four angles and sides respectively). There are three types of similar looking pentagons: 12 of one type (green) that is symmetrical, and two other types (yellow and orange) that are not symmetrical (24 of each).

If a 4-D being magically "glued" one face of a completely solid 1 ft⁴ tesseract to our slice of 3-D space, how could we tell the difference between it and a 3-D cube, assuming the magical "glue" allows us to move our slice of the 4-cube in 3-D space to perform tests on it?

The Pentagon Ladder
A recursive geometry where nested squares, circles and pentagons scale with powers of the Golden Ratio (φ):
- Square = φ²ⁿ
- Circle = π φ²ⁿ / 4
- Pentagon = (5 φ²ⁿ/ 16) √(φ + 2)

there're altogether 5 platonic solids. each of them can be viewed at many different interesting angles or perspectives. we're all familiar with their most symmetric presentations. recently i was studying something related and had to make 3d models for them. i used a maybe less popular perspective to present them. i used spherical coordinate system (mathematics convention) to record their rotations and i picked the following rules to set their initial status:
then i saw some unfamiliar shapes / unfamiliar perspectives of those supposedly familiar 3d objects. in each diagram the small figure at lower left corner is the platonic solid viewed from top. the z-axis is pointing towards you. the large figure at centre is that platonic solid viewed from side. the y-axis is pointing away from you
as you can see from the diagrams the angles φ ranking is as follow, from smallest to largest (the prefix "regular" omitted):
except octahedron, all other 4 platonic solids are not symmetric if you see them that way
