119. In fact, the calculation of the number of component rings of Extended Goldberg polyhedra when k is odd is mathematically equivalent to the problem of central circuits counting of 4-valent graphs. However, until now, it still remains unsolved. More about central circuits counting problem on 4-valent graphs see ref. [120-122]
