I was working on my talk for YAPC::Europe and I got a little distracted, with the following problem and I also thought some of you might like to think about it. First of all, consider the problem of distributing N points around the origin evenly in 2D, so they are all the same distance from

How about drawing a 3D shape (depending upon the value of N) with equal distances between neighbour nodes and equal angles between the edges? All the nodes lie on the imaginary sphere and the distance to the center is the same. Thus you get one and only one shape for each value of N. You can
