  @The-Blade-Dancer 👏 That's a really good way! 🙂 I like it!

  Another slight variation on this method is to say that the 3-D figure is composed of the same repeated building-block, the pyramid with five triangular slant faces.

  On our side of the shape, there is a big 5-pointed-star looking at us, and it's composed of \(6\) of these building-block pyramids, so the 5-pointed-star contains \(30\) faces. The side facing opposite from us contains the same 5-pointed-star, simply rotated, so it provides another \(30\) faces.

  The total is \(30 + 30 = \boxed{60 \text{ faces}}.\)

  @the-blade-dancer It's because every edges are counted twice.
