A. Weimholt derived this selfdual hexahedron as the vertex figure of bidex in 2004, and reused it as the cells of tridex in 2005.

There is a vertex 4-coloring of ike. Diminishing the vertices of a single color then derives teddi by chopping off 3 peppies. Diminishing the vertices of 2 such colors derives this selfdual hexahedron; peppies then already would intersect, this is where the f-edges originate from. Diminishing 3 colors will result in the dual of teddi, and at all 4 colors results in the dual of ike, i.e. in doe.

Its faces are 4 (x,f,f)-triangles (i.e. ox&#f) and 2 (x,x,x,f)-trapezia (or xf&#x). It is a self-dual chiral polyhedron, in fact the dual is nothing but a rotated copy, i.e. dualization here even respects the handedness!
