ANSWER: Shapes

Soccer Ball

The classic soccer ball is made of the collection of leather pieces of 12 regular pentagons (that are usually painted black) and 20 regular hexagons (painted white). The pentagons are placed at the vertices of imaginary icosahedron (one of the Platonic perfect solids), and separated one from another with the hexagons. The pentagons and hexagons border each other, and therefore have the same side sizes.

Matt: WRONG
Record: 450-388
