Although there are several raytraced images available of Barth's Sextic
Surface, I prepared an animation that illustrates a correlation between
50 of the 65 double points of this surface and two regular dodecahedra.
One reduced image is attached to this posting, but the whole animation
can be viewed at

That's some interesting animations! Math can be derived from everything that
exsists everywhere; apparently that's how the world works. But it's also
where my skills seems small and I become humble... Well, the first step is
to understand math, and it's nice to see someone takes up the challange, and
likes to play with it.
