On: A Light Box in Heavy Times

[elihu]

I once ran into a similar problem with trying to make a regular grid with hexagons, except that I was trying to do a hex grid wrapped around a sphere.

Here's what I came up with:

I treated the sphere as an icosahedron where each "side" is a triangular hex grid. At each vertex is a pentagonal cell. To get the sides to fit together nicely, I had to rotate them a little bit.

There may be a simpler way to do it, but it worked.
