Problem
If 
and 
are vertices of a polyhedron, define the distance 
C to be the minimum number of edges of the polyhedron one must traverse in order to connect and . For example, if AB is an edge of the polyhedron, then 
= 1, but if AC and CB are edges and AB is not an edge, then = 2. Let Q, R, and S be randomly chosen distinct vertices of a regular icosahedron (regular polyhedron made up of 20 equilateral triangles). What is the probability that 
?
