We have a polyhedron all faces of which are triangle. Let be an arbitrary point on one of the edges of this polyhedron such that is not the midpoint or endpoint of this edge. Assume that . In each step, connect to the centroid of one of the faces containing it. This line meets the perimeter of this face again at point . Continue this process with and the other face containing . Prove that by continuing this process, we cannot pass through all the faces. (The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of its medians.)
