Consider a convex polyhaedron without parallel edges and without an edge parallel to any face other than the two faces adjacent to it. Call a pair of points of the polyhaedron antipodal if there exist two parallel planes passing through these points and such that the polyhaedron is contained between these planes. Let
be the number of antipodal pairs of vertices, and let
be the number of antipodal pairs of midpoint edges. Determine the difference
in terms of the numbers of vertices, edges, and faces.

Consider a convex polyhaedron without parallel edges and without an edge parallel to any face other than the two faces adjacent to it. Call a pair of points of the polyhaedron antipodal if there exist two parallel planes passing through these points and such that the polyhaedron is contained between these planes. Let $A$ be the number of antipodal pairs of vertices, and let $B$ be the number of antipodal pairs of midpoint edges. Determine the difference $A-B$ in terms of the numbers of vertices, edges, and faces.
