- 1969, Charles Miller, Vern Heeren, John Hornsby, Margaret Morrow, Jill Van Newenhizen, Mathematical Ideas, 11th edition:
- John Conway of Princeton University offered a reward in the 1990s to anyone producing a holyhedron, a polyhedron with a finite number of faces and with a hole in every face. […] Conway had predicted that someone will eventually find a holyhedron with fewer than 100 faces.
