Is there a polyhedron with an odd number of faces, each of which is a polygon with an odd number of sides?

| Let us prove that such a figure does not exist.
To do this, count the number of edges (sides) in this figure.
Let’s denote by S – the number of edges.
Obviously, S must be a natural number.
Consider another value A, which is equal to the sum of the sides on each face.
Then the relation S = A / 2 must be satisfied (since we counted each edge twice).
But the number A is odd because it contains an odd number of odd terms (an odd number of faces that have an odd number of sides).
Hence from the relation S is non-integer, which is impossible.
