One might reasonably hope that solving this problem will provide a solution of the original Frugal Firepower problem. The idea is that a box that solves the original problem should have “maximal contact” with the spheres, and should therefore be determined by its tangencies with the spheres.

### Johnson solid
|
||||
|
||||
#### Statement
|
||||
|
||||
Choose a Johnson solid. Assemble it and confirm that it's rigid.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Notes
|
||||
|
||||
There are various ways to represent the solid and to constrain the faces to be regular. Here's a way that has the advantage of requiring only point–point distance, point–sphere incidence, and curvature constraints.
|
||||
|
||||
- For each vertex, create a point.
|
||||
- For each edge, add a unit distance constraint between vertices.
|
||||
- Constrain the faces to be planar. For each face with more than three vertices:
|
||||
- Create a plane—a sphere whose curvature is constrained to be zero.
|
||||
- Constrain each vertex of the face to lie on the plane.
|
||||
- Constrain the faces to be regular. For each face with more than three vertices:
|
||||
- Triangulate the face.
|
||||
- For each triangulation diagonal, add a distance constraint to enforce the desired length.
|
||||

[Nets for the Johnson solids](https://archive.lib.msu.edu/crcmath/math/math/j/j057.htm) might help with assembly. Here are some interesting Johnson solids with relatively low vertex, edge, and face counts:
|
||||
|
||||
- Triangular cupola (J3)
|
||||
- Triangular dipyramid (J12)
|
||||
- Gyrobifastigium (J26)
|
||||
- Tridiminished icosahedron (J63)
|
||||
- Snub disphenoid (J84)
