You'll notice that I posted this yesterday. I did in fact go. The tutorial was on stuff I hadn't read up on yet because I had been studying something else (the flexible structure of the course makes this a possibility), but I was pleased to discover that I could follow it. I learned that if you take a regular tetrahedron (triangular-based pyramid, with each side being a congruent equilateral triangle, remember) and then divide each face into three congruent sections by drawing lines from each corner into the middle, where they meet, so that you can colour bits in, then there are 368 different ways of colouring the surface in with 2 colours so that some symmetry of the basic tetrahedron is a symmetry of the coloured-in tetrahedron. So anyway, no need to chide me; I did go.
