The Snub Dodecahedron
A semi-regular polyhedron with four triangles and a pentagon meeting at each vertex.
The snub dodecahedron is one of the thirteen archimedian solids. The pentagonal faces lie on the surface of a circumscribing dodecahedron, and twenty of the triangular faces lie on a circumscribing icosahedron.

Edge ratios:
- `e/rho = 0.47686`
- `e/R = 0.46386`
- `e/(e_12) = 0.562`
- `e/(e_20) = 0.364`
where `e` is the edge length, `rho` is the inter-radius, `R` is the circum-radius, `e_12` is the edge of the circumscribing dodecahedron, and `e_20` is the edge of the circumscribing icosahedron.
