Summary/Abstract: A misconception related to the use of a non-existent figure in a task is presented. An opportunity for research work related to this problem is presented. Computer models have been created to provide conditions for self-formulation of hypotheses related to the existence of an n-gonal pyramid with equal edges. The computer models are developed with dynamic GeoGebra software. Variants for manipulatives are indicated, an illustration is made with magnetic manipulatives. Ideas for using research results to create 3D printed models are described.
