An irregular Dodecahedron Cross in the shape of a dagger $\dagger$ . The six faces of a Cube can be cut along seven Edges and unfolded into a Latin cross (i.e., the Latin cross is the Net of the Cube). Similarly, eight hypersurfaces of a Hypercube can be cut along 17 Squares and unfolded to form a 3-D Latin cross.
