The Football Maths Puzzle

Posted on Posted in Uncategorized

Take a look at the football in the picture.

Interesting pattern of pentagons and hexagons, at each point two hexagons and one pentagon meet… so there can’t be any arbitrary number of pentagons and hexagons on a football.

Given that:

“Vertices + Faces = Edges + 2”

 

Can you tell me how many hexagons and how many pentagons?
