May 20 at 13:12 comment added Bipolar Minds Sorry, there was a mistake in the "they all intersect"-part. I changed it and also the convention.

May 20 at 12:27 comment added Achim Krause Not to my understanding (both an $n$-simplex and a $n$-cell are $n$-dimensional objects), but regardless of conventions, there seems to be an inconsistency either way (since you also write "they all intersect in a $(2n-3)$-cell", and in your $n=2$ example they do intersect in a $1$-simplex). But these problems aside, it's not clear how to extrapolate from the two examples you give.
May 20 at 12:16 comment added Bipolar Minds Ah, I thought that $n$-simplex = $(n+1)$-cell. Is that not true?
May 20 at 12:12 comment added Achim Krause You write "...can be glued together on common $2(n-1)$-cells", but in your $n=2$ example they are glued along a $1$-simplex, not a $2$-simplex. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I can't extrapolate from the two examples you're giving.
