I just found it again - awesome that he still has it posted: http://www.geometrycode.com/free/polyhedra-math-tables-for-platonic-and-archimedean-solids/ I worked the above out by making a spreadsheet that had many many permutations of multiplying the sqrt2, sqrt3, and phi by each other, dividing them, multiplying them, creating exponential values... and then I just methodically compared the results to Bruce's table. It was pretty amazing to discover all the places that these values appeared. Bruce would probably be the guy to ask... he's a mathematician... I'm a hack.

Do you have an equation for that? I am quite curious. Thank you for all the info. What aout the volumes of the platonic solids the their respective edge lengths. Do you have an equation for that?
