Snub-cube optimality conjecture for spherical codes

Let C\mathcal{C} be the set of 2424 vertices of a snub cube, regarded as unit vectors in R3\mathbb{R}^3. Snub-cube optimality conjecture. Three-point bounds prove that C\mathcal{C} is an optimal spherical code in three dimensions. The analogous statement is known for the spherical code with 99 points in R3\mathbb{R}^3, but the 2424-point case remains conjectural in the source.
