Problem 585

AMC 12 late, AIME early
Geometry Difficulty 5.0 Find the answer

9.33. Is it necessarily correct that a convex polyhedron, in which: a) all edges and all dihedral angles are equal; b) all edges and all polyhedral angles are equal, is correct?

This one wants a proof. Work it on paper, read the official solution, then mark yourself honestly — the ladder only means something if the record is true.

Official solution
