Any chance of a version that is not in .doc format (e.g., PostScript)?
I just put an html version at: http://www.georgehart.com/dissect-re/dissect-re.htm
Thanks! I like the sculpture.
... I guess that's what this paper:
http://www.liafa.jussieu.fr/~latapy/Publis/Pav/abstract http://www.liafa.jussieu.fr/~latapy/Publis/Pav/Pav.ps.gz
Latapy didn't realize when he wrote his papers that the combinatorial form of the zonotope affects the answer. For example there are four combinatorially distinct 6-zone zonohedra, including a polar zonohedron (which has two vertices of order 6) and Kepler's rhombic triacontahedron (which doesn't). The number of dissections is different for these but Latapy assumed it only depended on the number of zones. Thus his entries in the EIS are incorrect/incomplete. I corresponded with him a year ago about this. He said:
Actually, I do not work on these topics anymore.
You might want to go back and clarify the information in Sloan's database. I certainly have to ! I'll try to do this soon.
I think you should go ahead and fix the entries in the EIS yourself. And add a link to your paper. Peace, Dylan
