I've been sitting here for half an hour drying to figure this out. A cube has eight vertices and six sides. An octahedron has six vertices, yet it has eight sides. How does that even make sense? This is freaking me out my dudes.

What is there to misunderstand
It is a platonic solid, you can literally make one from oragami right now and examine it. Do so if it confuses you.
Do you have low spatial reasoning or something?

A square has more sides than a triangle, silly. :-)

Yes, but how can something with more corners have less sides?
>>
>>34805379
Each corner on the cube connects to three other corners but each corner on the octahedron connected to four other corners

on one, each vertex branches out four times. On the other, each vertex only branches out three times. God damn.

Count the edges as well.
>>
>>34805269
if it helps, in the cube, 3 edges converge at each vertex and in the octahedron, 4 edges converge at each vertex. each face on the cube is a square (with 4 edges) and each face on the octahedron is a triangle (with 3 edges).
