The paper under review gives an alternative construction for the projectively unique ``double-five'' in PG(5,2) [see \textit{R. Shaw} and \textit{N. A. Gordon}: ``Cubic sets in PG(5,2) of hyperbolic and elliptic types'', Hull Math. Res. Rep. VIII(4) (1995)] for a uniqueness proof]. A double-five is a set of 35 points which admits two distinct decompositions into sets of mutually skew planes; moreover, any plane from tone of the decompositions meets exactly one plane of the other decomposition in a line, and all the other planes in a point. The new construction uses the 15 pairs of opposite edges and the 20 faces of a coloured icosahedron and explains why the symmetry group of the double-five is isomorphic to \(A_5 \times \mathbb{Z}_2\). The double-five is a set of hyperbolic type. The paper also constructs a 27-set of elliptic type, this time using the pairs of opposite edges and the vertices of the icosahedron. Both types of point sets have cubic equations.
