Uniform polyhedra
All the polyhedra in the photo are uniform: this means that around every vertex there are the same polygons (in the same order) and that if you take any couple of vertices in a polyhedron, you can always move the first one in the position of the second one. This feature allows us to identify a uniform polyhedron with some numbers. At the centre of the photo the football (5,6,6) and a (3,5,3,5); in the bottom, a (3,4,3,4), a (3,4,4,4) and a (3,3,3,3,4).
