@robinhouston@mathstodon.xyz @OscarCunningham@mathstodon.xyz I did the calculation three times, kept getting the wrong answer, and couldn't understand where my mistake was.
Now I realize that my calculations were correct all along but I had been unable to believe that the dodecahedron hadn't won.

@robinhouston@mathstodon.xyz @OscarCunningham@mathstodon.xyz I had another one of these today, I was trying out a new method for checking divisibility by 12, got the wrong answer twice, tried to figure out my mistake, and eventually realized that 7098 is *not* in fact a multiple of 12.
