A disdyakis triacontahedron, or hexakis icosahedron is the Catalan solid whose Archimedean dual is the truncated icosidodecahedron. As such it is face uniform but with irregular face polygons. It looks a bit like an inflated rhombic triacontahedron—if one replaces each face of the rhombic triacontahedron with a single vertex and four triangles in a regular fashion one ends up with a disdyakis triacontahedron. Side lengths for r=12: s1=4.35411996 s2=6.55839670 s3=7.69022184 (Calculated by Garrith McLean)
