The 30 straight edges an icosahedron ( constant euclidean vertex to vertex distance, constant sphere center to vertex distance ) have normal curvatures kn=0 in radial planes). They span and tessellate 20 equilateral triangles of Gauss curvature $K=0$. We try to find parametrization of the surface in other cases of spherical symmetry. When $K=1$, we have a sphere $\kappa_n=1$. How should the normal curvatures change so that the surface has: - $ K=2?~$ I imagine a spiky surface somewhat like the `Mathematica` logo. 2) K=-1? Thanks in advance for solution if available or other suggestions.
