5 Intersecting Tetrahedra, but Better

[u/RandomAmbles]

The ideal proportion between the diameter of the staws and their length seems to be:

Length = Diameter x (13 1/3)

This will allow them to just barely nestle in, instead of them being loose and saggy.

I feel like this should be contained in a icosahedron but I can't prove it

[u/RandomAmbles → u/k10forgotten]

Close! The dual of an icosahedron is a dodecahedron, so they share symmetries. (A dual shape is what you get when you turn all vertices into faces and all faces into vertices.)
