Problem Statement

Two ants are moving along the edges of a convex polyhedron. The route of every ant ends in its starting point, so that one ant does not pass through the same point twice along its way. On every face FF of the polyhedron are written the number of edges of FF belonging to the route of the first ant and the number of edges of FF belonging to the route of the second ant. Is there a polyhedron and a pair of routes described as above, such that only one face contains a pair of distinct numbers?
