We consider here a problem that is suitable for introducing high-school students to the notion of generalizing shapes and solids to ndimensions. In particular, we calculate the effective resistance between any two vertices of an n-dimensional tetrahedron whose edges are each 1-O resistors. This leads, in a natural way, to more demanding problems, and indeed ideas for more advanced work in this area are also suggested.
