During core, we were given a puzzle. To make a shape with 4 equilateral triangles with 6 popsicle sticks, no more, no less. Many students thought of overlapping the shapes so that it made a star with enough triangles, but they weren't equilateral or there were too many. Instead, our group made a Deltahedron, which is a pyramid with a triangle base. First, we glued the base together, then added the three other vertices so they all met up in the middle. The ending result was this:
