    Interesting that you posted this now: there has been a development where a 2025-08-25 pre-print paper shows a non-Rupert convex polyhedron.

    Am I confused or is this the same Prince Rupert from the glass drop that is unbreakable unless you strike the tip and it shatters? (I know I could Google it, but figured it’s somewhat interesting discussion).
