53 → 53 → 63 → 74 → 74 → 84 → 9
As you can see from the above list the connection sequence comes in waves of three, where each group of similar indices on the left is associated with a group of three incrementing indices on the right.
Some combination of Series components will probably generate this list, but it'll only work for the first ring, the second one will need a different connection pattern. It is perhaps better to just encode the integer pairs by hand. But then you cannot change your mind about the number of sides later.…

formula says "Syntax error: Right hand value of operator ( is Null."
Any insights into why the formula isn't working?
Here is the formula that is plugged into the y-coordinate:
(-1/15)*Sin(u)*(3*Cos(v)-3*(Cos(u))^2*Cos(v)-48*(Cos(u))^4*Cos(v)+48(Cos(u))^6*Cos(v)-60*Sin(u)+5*Cos(u)*Cos(v)*Sin(u)-5*(Cos(u))^3*Cos(v)*Sin(u)-80*(Cos(u))^5*Cos(v)*Sin(u)+80*(Cos(u))^7*Cos(v)*Sin(u))
Here is the link to Wikipedia to see the formula:
