For the wiki, I would like to suggest creating a standard template page for
puzzles, and for all puzzle specific pages to use this template. This will
help keep all these visually in sync, and will allow us to more easily do
across-the-board changes when/if they are desired. Info on wiki templates
is here and
here
.

I've been wanting to set this up for the current pages for the last few
weeks, but don't know when I'll be able to get to it. So in the mean time I
thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone else would like to take on the
task :) And if you do, thanks!

Take care all,
Roice

P.S. I also wanted to apologize for some formatting problems in recent
emails from me. I think I have the issue under control now...

This is a good idea. Maybe if I find myself with some time in the future I
will help out with it too. I also noticed that we need to find a way to
give consistent names to the duoprisms. I assume that we go with the
Schlafi symbol convention {n}x{m} where n >=3D m, but what about names?
{6}x{4} and {6}x{5} for instance would need names to distinguish them from
each other, because "hexagonal duoprism" doesn't distinguish between the
two.

Good point, Chris. Maybe call them the 6-4 and 6-5 duoprisms, etc.?
Good luck with the templates. That would be a great way to make a
contribution.
