   A regular n-gon has a solid construction if and only if n=2 a 3 b m where a and b are some non-negative integers and m is a product of zero or more distinct Pierpont primes (primes of the form 2 r 3 s +1). Therefore, regular n-gon admits a solid, but not planar, construction if and only if n is in the sequence
