Spherical 3D design

Let me introduce myself, I am a Viral Patel from India, a researcher on Occult Sciences of Ancient Times.

 I need some help from you with a spherical shapes which is further required for my research.  

I was searching for geometrical solution where the OUTER SURFACE OF THE SPHERE is divided in such a manner that it forms 142 angles all of the same degree.    I assume this can be done using combination 22 hexagons and 2 pentagons.   As 22 hexagons gives us 22x6 = 132 angles and 2 pentagons will give us 2x5 = 10 angles making a total of 142 angles.   Another way of doing this is using 26 pentagons and 2 hexagons.    As 26 pentagons gives us 26x5 = 130 angles and 2 hexagon gives us 2x6=12 angles again making a total of 142 angles.    However I think we shall need to make sure that the angles formed by hexagon and pentagon are of the same degree.     This is where I am facing the biggest challenge.   

For clarity purposes I am attaching a photo, what I mean by OUTER SURFACE OF THE SPHERE.

There is no restriction on the combination of the shapes or its size here.   For example you can use X number of triangles and Y number of pentagons and Z number of heptagon etc.  on a single sphere to produce 142 angles of same degree

Can someone please help me design such a sphere??

Autodesk Civil 3D does not work with spheres.  I think you may have been mis-led with the 3D in the program's name.
