- A few questions:
-
- 1. Must the polyhedra be convex?
-
- 2. How did the problem come up?
-
- At first glance, I offer the following answer to (4). Select P as the
- cuboctahderon, and Q as that polyhedron formed by rotating one-half of
- the cuboctahedron 60 degrees through a hexagonal cross-section. Faces
- number 14.
