2011. Artur E. Ruuge, review MR2594002 (2011d:81017) of Waegell, Mordecai and Aravind, P. K., "Critical noncolorings of the 600-cell proving the Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem.", Journal of Physics A 43 (2010), no. 10, 105304
The present paper deals with a collection of 60 rays in a 4-dimensional real vector space represented by the vertices of a hexacosichoron (i.e. a 4-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron).
Comment: the reviewer uses the word, the reviewed paper uses 600-cell only.
