    The main thing I learned from this video is that Mat Parker should not be left alone in a hotel room for to long without adult supervision, he'll go mad with boredom and start making strange shapes and rambles on and on on the balcony. Interesting video though.

    The Bilinski dodecahedron, rhombic icosahedron, rhombic triacontahedron, and rhombohedron are the four unit shapes in a quasicrystal. All the faces are golden rhombi, and it has 5-fold icosahedral symmetry. Subscribed.

    One thing to mention is that if you continue the process of "removing a belt of rhombuses" with the Bilinski dodecahedron, you can actually create a rhombic hexahedron (looking like a partially squashed cube).
    There are actually an infinite number of possible rhombic hexahedrons (where the diagonals have a ratio between 1:1 [cube] and 1:√3 [basically a degenerate hexagon]), but the golden rhombic hexahedron is unique in that it is the only rhombic hexahedron that can "add" a belt of identical rhombi to create a rhombic dodecahedron.

    As you can no doubt deduce from what you know about the Rhombic Icosahedron, the shape made by two opposite edges and an imaginary pair of parallel lines through the Icosahedron connecting the two opposite edges is a golden rectangle.
    I love polyhedrons and phi, and I literally cheered out loud when you declared that the Bilinski Rhombic Dodecahedron was made up of Golden Rhombi.
    I love this stuff.

    His name was Stanko Bilinski and he was from Nasice, wich is in Slavonia. I am going to school in that city and every year we have a Stanko's geometry school.

    I see confusion when we talk about "rhombic dodecahedra" now... Perhaps we should rename the standard Rhombic Dodecahedron to something catchy & unique! From rho[mbus] + doz[en], I suggest calling it a Rhodoz!

    As soon as I saw sqrt(5) I had a feeling the golden ratio would be involved somehow.
