Exercise: Look through the entire set of Johnson solids and determine which of them are chiral.

    Answer: Surprisingly few of the 92 are chiral. Only these five:

    • gyroelongated triangular bicupola (J44)
    • gyroelongated square bicupola (J45)
    • gyroelongated pentagonal bicupola (J46)
    • gyroelongated pentagonal cupolarotunda (J47)
    • gyroelongated pentagonal birotunda (J48)
