About this deal

At least part of the folk Spikey story seems to center around a mother-daughter tradition. Mothers, it is said, often made folk Spikeys as wedding presents when their daughters went off to get married. Typically the Spikeys were made from scraps of clothes and other things that would remind the daughters of their childhood—a bit like how quilts are sometimes made for modern kids going to college. Full details of these products, along with spiking testing kits, are available from the Advice Centreif you are worried that you have been a victim of spiking. Unkelbach actually viewed his 1940 paper as a kind of warmup for a study of more general “ k-symmetric polyhedra” with looser symmetry requirements. But it was already remarkable enough that a mathematics journal was being published at all in Germany after the beginning of World War II, and soon after the paper, Unkelbach was pulled into the war effort, spending the next few years designing acoustic-homing torpedoes for the German navy. Taking part this year were PDC Pro players Alan Soutar, Joe Cullen, Damon Heta and Jose de Souza who would challenge four local players in the quarter-finals. None of this was settled when in the early 1980s electron diffraction crystallography on a rapidly cooled aluminum-manganese material effectively showed five-fold symmetry. There were already theories about how this could be achieved, and within a few years there were also electron microscope pictures of grains that were shaped like rhombic triacontahedra:

In the final it was Damon Heta, ranked 15 th in the World who got the better of his Portuguese challenger, ranked just below him at 17 th in the World.

Wolfram, Altogether, the rhombic hexecontahedron has 62 vertices and 120 edges (as well as 120−62+2=60 faces). There are 3 kinds of vertices (“inner”, “middle” and “outer”), corresponding to the 12+30+20 vertices of the icosahedron, icosidodecahedron and dodecahedron. These types of vertices have respectively 3, 4 and 5 edges meeting at them. Each golden rhombus face of the rhombic hexecontahedron has one “inner” vertex where 5 edges meet, one “outer” vertex where 3 edges meet and two “middle” vertices where 4 edges meet. The inner and outer vertices are the acute vertices of the golden rhombuses; the middle ones are the obtuse vertices. Looking through my 1991 archives today, I find some “explanatory” code (by Ilan Vardi)—and it’s nice to see that it all just runs in our latest Wolfram Language (though now it can be written a bit more elegantly):

Chief Superintendent Sarah Pitt said: “Over the last week, we have welcomed an influx of new students to Sunderland as they begin their university adventure, and officers attended the freshers’ fayre and on-campus events to offer crime prevention advice. Recreational drugs like Ecstasy, Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), Ketamine and other ‘party-drugs’ are sometimes used to spike alcoholic drinks.Mixing alcohol and stimulantscan be very dangerous and can cause serious medical problems, ranging from nausea to coma. There are other ways to build rhombic hexecontahedra out of other polyhedra. Five intersecting cubes can do it, as can 182 dodecahedra with touching faces: But, so far as I can tell, the rhombic hexecontahedron was not among them. And instead its discovery had to await the work of a certain Helmut Unkelbach. Born in 1910, he got a PhD in math at the University of Munich in 1937 (after initially studying physics). He wrote several papers about conformal mapping, and—perhaps through studying mappings of polyhedral domains—was led in 1940 to publish a paper (in German) about “The Edge-Symmetric Polyhedra”.

You see a polyhedron in a picture from 500 years ago and it’ll look just as clean and modern as a polyhedron from my computer today. Why didn’t Kepler discover the rhombic hexecontahedron? I think he was quite close. He looked at non-convex “star” polyhedra. He looked at rhombic polyhedra. But I guess for his astronomical theories he was satisfied with the rhombic triacontahedron, and looked no further.People can also be a victim of ‘needle spiking’, which is injecting someone with drugs without their consent. Thanks again for sharing and giving a personal touch to the amazing work the Mathematica team is doing Raging Storm Raigmore’s 8-4 win against Culloden Moor Inn enabled them to move into third spot in the table, a point ahead of Culloden but having played one more game. A few years later, we tweaked the facet shading slightly, giving what is still today the logo of Wolfram|Alpha:

The top ladies set went to Joan Milne from Grampian with 53.49 whilst Angus player Helena Wild hit a 48.54 average. In his 1619 book Harmonices mundi (“Harmony of the World”) Kepler argued that many features of music, planets and souls operate according to similar geometric ratios and principles. And to provide raw material for his arguments, Kepler studied polygons and polyhedra, being particularly interested in finding objects that somehow formed complete sets, like the Platonic solids. What is a rhombic hexecontahedron? It’s called a “hexecontahedron” because it has 60 faces, and ἑξηκοντα (hexeconta) is the Greek word for 60. (Yes, the correct spelling is with an “e”, not an “a”.) It’s called “rhombic” because each of its faces is a rhombus. Actually, its faces are golden rhombuses, so named because their diagonals are in the golden ratio ≃ 1.618:An additional innovation in the prevention of spiking is a product launched by Spikey at http://www.spikey.co.uk/ .

What are Spikeys and How Do They Work? | Just Online

Despite quite a bit of investigation, I still don’t know what the full history of the “folk Spikey” is. But here’s what I’ve found out so far. First, at least what survives of the folk Spikey tradition is centered around Brazil (even though we have a few stories of other appearances). Second, the tradition seems to be fairly old, definitely dating from well before 1900 and quite possibly several centuries earlier. So far as I can tell—as is common with folk art—it’s a purely oral tradition, and so far I haven’t found any real historical documentation about it. Chelsea McMahon hit the top ladies average of the weekend for Fife with a 67.30 avaerge and best for Moray came from Nicola Donald with 56.17.The typical way to build a folk Spikey—at least in modern times—seems to be to start off by cutting out 60 cardboard rhombuses. The next step is to wrap each rhombus in fabric—and finally to stitch them all together: To actually draw a rhombic hexecontahedron, one needs to know 3D coordinates for its vertices. A convenient way to get these is to use the fact that the rhombic hexecontahedron is invariant under the icosahedral group, so that one can start with a single golden rhombus and just apply the 60 matrices that form a 3D representation of the icosahedral group. This gives for example final vertex coordinates {± ϕ,±1,0}, {±1,± ϕ,±(1+ ϕ)}, {±2 ϕ,0,0}, {± ϕ,±(1+2 ϕ),0}, {±(1+ ϕ),±(1+ ϕ),±(1+ ϕ)}, and cyclic permutations of these, with each possible sign being taken.
