A single line bisects a hollow cube into two mirrored sections, revealing a second, smaller solid cube inside which supports the three pieces when suspended from the top corner. The bisecting line (curve) is space-filling, and each face of the exploded hexahedron is identical.
A single shape tiles the faces of all three equilateral triangle-faced regular polyhedra with knots. Only the bend angle of the shape changes between the solids. The knots also tile the plane.
