Bodies of density one half (of the fluid in which they are immersed) that can float in all orientations are investigated. It is shown that expansions starting from and deforming the (hyper)sphere are possible in arbitrary dimensions and allow for a large manifold of solutions: One may either (i) expand r(n)+r(-n) in powers of a given difference r(u)-r(-u), (r(n) denoting the distance from the origin in direction n). Or (ii) the envelope of the water planes (for fixed body and varying direction of gravitation) may be given. Equivalently r(n) can be expanded in powers of the distance h(u) of the water planes from the origin perpendicular to u.
