#159: It's quite a mouthful

Matt: The Platonic solids are the shapes of the d4, d6, d8, d12, and d20.

Matt: But their more formal names are the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron, respectively.
Jen (winking): What about the elongated tricosagonal dipyramid?

Matt: I wish I wasn't spending Valentine's Day answering smartass questions about polyhedra.
Sun-Moon: It's not my fault you can't take a hint.
