Talking Platonic Solids!  If you get a chance to make some cut-outs, try to make a handful of equilateral triangles, squares, pentagons, and maybe some hexagons or such while you are at it.  Not needed, but it will mean that you can play along! Thank you for your continued support, and I will catch oyu next Monday!
