Name the Strictly Convex Deltahedra

Everybody loves deltahedra! That is, a 3-D solid whose faces are all equilateral triangles. A strictly convex deltahedron is one whose edges always curve inward (i.e. they are round; as opposed to concave where they curve outwards). Strictly convex means that no two faces can be coplanar.

Great Quiz! I appreciate that "square bipyramid" also works for octahedron. 5 stars!

You know I was just discussing the disturbing lack of convex polyhedra oriented quizzes on this website before I saw this quiz. I like it!

I didn't know that you were only allowed limited nominations but I used up one of these on this. Not complaining though :)

The only reason I got any of these is because of this song I learned in elementary school!

"We have the tetrahedron, the cube, the octahedron to the dodecahedron and icosahedron cuz of you!"
