Let be a polyhedron that is the convex hull of the vertices and with edges where each edge is defined to be the set of points on the line that passes through some two distinct vertices .
We define the Edge-Plosion of , , to be the convex hull of the mid-points of each edge of , where is a cube.
Which of these is an image of ?
