Möbius tetrahedra, also called Möbius tetrads (Baker 1922, pp. 61-62) are a pair of tetrahedra, each of which has all the vertices lying on the faces of the other: in other words, each tetrahedron is inscribed in the other. As shown by Möbius in 1828, this apparently paradoxical geometric situation can be realized when some of the vertices lie not exactly on the surface of the polyhedron, but instead in the extensions of the facial planes.
The vertices and of the tetrahedra must be assigned to the faces as follows:
1. to
2. to
3. to
4. to
5. to
6. to
7. to
8. to .
It can be shown that each of the above eight rules is a consequence of the remaining seven.
