Abstract
The recently obtained solution of the Schrodinger equation for a particle confined to a particular (non-regular) tetrahedral box is rederived directly rather than through a transformation of a four-body one-dimensional problem. Its simple form is shown to be related to a space-filling property of this particular tetrahedron. The class of all such polyhedra is determined.Keywords
