Cubes inscribed in a dodecahedron



Cube 1  Cube 2  Cube 3  Cube 4  Cube 5 

There are five inscribed cubes in the dodecahedron. Each of these cubes has twelve edges, with one edge cutting across each of the twelve faces of the dodecahedron. If we focus on one of these cubes, then the full dodecahedron can be obtained by attaching a tent to each face of the cube. The rotational symmetry group of the dodecahedron acts on the set of five cubes as the alternating permutation group $A_5$.
