In geometry, the truncated cube, or truncated hexahedron, is an Archimedean solid. It has 14 regular faces (6 octagonal and 8 triangular ), 36 edges, and 24 vertices. If the truncated cube has unit edge length, its dual triakis octahedron has edges of lengths 2 and δ S +1 , where δ S is the silver ratio, √ 2 +1.
In geometry, the truncated cuboctahedron or great rhombicuboctahedron is an Archimedean solid, named by Kepler as a truncation of a cuboctahedron. It has 12 square faces, 8 regular hexagonal faces, 6 regular octagonal faces, 48 vertices, and 72 edges.
The disdyakis triacontahedron, as a regular dodecahedron with pentagons divided into 10 triangles each, is considered the "holy grail" for combination puzzles like the Rubik's cube. Such a puzzle currently has no satisfactory mechanism. It is the most significant unsolved problem in mechanical puzzles, often called the "big chop" problem. [3]
Types of truncation on a square, {4}, showing red original edges, and new truncated edges in cyan. A uniform truncated square is a regular octagon, t{4}={8}. A complete truncated square becomes a new square, with a diagonal orientation. Vertices are sequenced around counterclockwise, 1-4, with truncated pairs of vertices as a and b.

The truncated order-5 cubic honeycomb, , has truncated cube and icosahedron cells, with a pentagonal pyramid vertex figure. It can be seen as analogous to the 2D hyperbolic truncated order-5 square tiling , t{4,5}, with truncated square and pentagonal faces:
The truncated cubic honeycomb or truncated cubic cellulation is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of truncated cubes and octahedra in a ratio of 1:1, with an isosceles square pyramid vertex figure. John Horton Conway calls this honeycomb a truncated cubille, and its dual pyramidille.
The cyclotruncated cubic-octahedral honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from truncated cube and octahedron cells, in a square antiprism vertex figure. It has a Coxeter diagram . Perspective view from center of octahedron. It can be seen as somewhat analogous to the trioctagonal tiling, which has truncated square and triangle ...
