#### Statement
Try to assemble a 5-5-4 acrohedron, which is a polyhedron with the following properties:
- Every face is a regular polygon.
- Theres some vertex whose neighboring faces are a 5-gon, a 5-gon, and a 4-gon, in that cyclic order.
If the candidate is a [known near miss](https://www.orchidpalms.com/polyhedra/acrohedra/nearmiss/554.htm), confirm that realization fails.
#### Notes
The problem of finding a 5-5-4 acrohedron is open as of June 2025.
