Five cubes in a dodecahedron
There are five ways to pick out 8 vertices among the 20 vertices of dodecahedron to form a cube (the photo shows the 5 cubes that have their vertices in the vertices of the dodecahedron in five different colours). In the picture we also see that the edges of the cubes are the diagonals of the faces of the dodecahedron.
Compare this virtual image with the photo of a cardboard model.
