(x+2)**2 = x2 + 4x + 4 = four edges + 4 vertices)
(x+2)**3 = x3 + 6x2 + 12x + 8 = six squares, 12 edges 8 vertices
(x+2)**4 = x4+8x3 + 24x2 + 32x + 16 = 8 cubes, 24 sq, 32 edg 8 vert
(x+2)**5 = x5+10x4 + 40x3 + 80x2 + 80x + 32 = 10 tesseract + 40 cubes + 80 squares + 80 edges + 32 vertices,
Simple, really. The tesseract is the fourth power of a line. What more can you say,
