Discovering the Noperthedron
About this episode
The episode explores a surprising geometry problem involving the interaction of six-sided cubes and the discovery of unique convex polyhedrons.
Can one six-sided cube seamlessly pass through another of equal size? The answer may surprise you. And the quest to discover convex polyhedrons that don't behave that way is even wilder. After more than three centuries, a geometry problem that originated with a royal bet has been solved, and Jeff and Anthony lay it all out for you.
