Steininger–Yurkevich conjecture on the rhombicosidodecahedron

From papers

Let P\mathcal{P} be a polyhedron. It is Rupert if there exist R1,R2SO(3)R_1,R_2\in\operatorname{SO}(3) and tR2t\in\mathbb{R}^2 such that

PR1(P)+tPR2(P),P\circ R_1(\mathcal{P})+t\subset P\circ R_2(\mathcal{P}^{\circ}),

where P:R3R2P:\mathbb{R}^3\to\mathbb{R}^2 drops the xx-coordinate and P\mathcal{P}^{\circ} is the interior of P\mathcal{P}. Steininger–Yurkevich conjecture. The rhombicosidodecahedron is not Rupert. This remains open to the best of the authors' knowledge, following the Noperthedron counterexample to the conjecture that all convex polyhedra are Rupert.
