Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Number of convex polyhedra with n faces that are all regular polygons.
%C For all n > 92, the sequence is identical to A000034 because for large n only prisms (even and odd n) and antiprisms (even n) are convex and have regular polygonal faces. The MathWorld article about Johnson Solids is very informative about this topic.
%C In a regular-faced polyhedron, any two faces with the same number of edges are congruent. (Proof: As the two faces are regular polygons, it suffices to show their edges have the same length. But as all faces are regular polygons and the polyhedron is connected, all edges have the same length.) - _Jonathan Sondow_, Feb 11 2018

%F a(A296602(n)) = 1. - _Jonathan Sondow_, Jan 29 2018
%e a(6) = 3 because the cube, pentagonal pyramid, and triangular bipyramid all qualify. a(7) = 2 because only the pentagonal prism and elongated triangular pyramid qualify; the hexagonal pyramid is impossible with equilateral triangles
