Some real-life examples of icosahedra include the carbon molecules known as fullerenes, such as buckminsterfullerene (C60), which have a spherical shape made up of interconnected pentagons and hexagons. Another example is the structure of some viruses, such as herpes simplex virus, which have an icosahedral shape with 20 equilateral triangular faces. Additionally, some types of dice have an icosahedral shape with 20 equilateral triangular faces, commonly used in role-playing games.
