Abstract

We consider triangle faced convex polyhedra inscribed in the unit sphere S2S^2 in R3{\Bbb{R}}^3. One way of measuring their deviation from regular polyhedra with triangular faces is to consider the quotient of the lengths of the longest and the shortest edges. If the number of faces tends to infinity, and the polyhedron with this number of faces varies, then the limit inferior of this quotient is 2sin36=1.17562 \sin 36^{\circ } = 1.1756 \ldots .
