The author gives a nice and short constructive proof of the following Theorem: The family of six pentagons, that is a model of the projective plane arising by identifying antipodal points of the regular dodecahedron, can be realized as a polyhedron in Euclidean 3-space such that five of the six faces are simple planar pentagons and the sixth has a single self-intersection. That answers a question by B. Grünbaum.
