The following problem appeared in the 1980 PSAT and the answer believed to be correct by the Educational Testing Service experts was, in fact, incorrect. Construct two pyramids with every edge of equal length, L. The first pyramid has a square base and four equilateral triangle side. The second pyramid has an equilateral triangle base and three more equilateral triangle sides. Glue any triangular side of the first pyramid to any triangular side of the second pyramid, completely matching the two glued triangles together, and creating a single solid object. How many faces does the resulting solid have?
