Truncated Cube (Posted on 2008-02-14) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A cube has 8 vertices. If each vertex is cut off to form a triangle, the new solid will have 3 x 8 = 24 vertices. If each of these vertices is then connected directly to each of the others via a straight line segment, how many of these segments will go through the body of the solid, rather than along its surface?

Precisely 120 of these segments will go through the body of the solid, rather than along its surface.
