توضیحPolyhedron with no vertex visible from center.png	This simple, non-convex polyhedron is constructed so that none of its 24 vertices, marked with black balls, can be seen from a region around its center. This counterexample shows that placing observers at each vertex is not a solution to the 3-dimensional generalization of the art gallery problem. The blue faces are also not visible from the center. This polyhedron is topologically equivalent to the rhombicuboctahedron.
