%N Decimal expansion of the length of the shorter edges of a polyhedron with 32 vertices with conjecturally maximum possible volume inscribed in the unit sphere.

%C The surface of the polyhedron consists of 60 congruent isosceles triangles, where the two equal sides are shorter with a length given by this sequence, and the third side is longer with a length given by A381264. See A179290 and A395323 for more information.
