Abstract We say that a polytope has the Rupert property if we can make a hole large enough in to permit another copy of to pass through. In this article, we show that among the 13 Archimedean solids, 8 have this property, namely, the cuboctahedron, the truncated octahedron, the truncated cube, the rhombicuboctahedron, the icosidodecahedron, the truncated cuboctahedron, the truncated icosahedron, and the truncated dodecahedron.

The Truncated Tetrahedron Is Rupert
Abstract A polyhedron has the Rupert property if a straight tunnel can be made in it, large enough so that a copy of can pass through this tunnel. Eight Archimedean polyhedra are known to have the…
An algorithmic approach to Rupert's problem
A polyhedron P ⊂ R has Rupert’s property if a hole can be cut into it, such that a copy of P can pass through this hole. There are several works investigating this property for some specific…
The n-Cube is Rupert
TLDR
It is shown that the n-cube is Rupert for each n ⩾ 3, because a straight tunnel can be made in it through which a second congruent oval can be passed.
Cubes and Boxes Have Rupert’s Passages in Every Nontrivial Direction
TLDR
It is proved that cubes and, in fact all, rectangular boxes have Rupert's passages in every direction that is not parallel to the faces, not only for the cube, but also for all other rectangular boxes.

Platonic Passages
Summary It is well known that a hole can be cut in a cube large enough to permit a second cube of equal size to pass through, a result attributed to Prince Rupert of the Rhine by J. Wallis more than…
Acute Triangulations of the Cuboctahedral Surface
TLDR
It is proved that the surface of the cuboctahedron can be triangulated into 8 non-obtuse triangles and 12 acute triangles and both bounds are the best possible.

In this paper we prove that the surface of the regular truncated tetrahedron can be triangulated into 10 non-obtuse geodesic triangles, and also into 12 acute geodesic triangles. Furthermore, we show…
