【 摘 要 】

Suppose your father gives you a hollow cylindrical knife asa birthday gift, and your mother buys you a bag of potatoes.When the knife is pressed into a potato and the outer excess isremoved, the interior of the knife yields a cylindrical core. Bypressing the knife into a potato from several strategically chosendirections, you can construct some solids of intersectionsuch that all faces are identical or one of two distinct shapes.
