Question 19

A unit cube has vertices $P_1,$ $P_2,$ $P_3,$ $P_4,$ $P_1',$ $P_2',$ $P_3',$ and $P_4'.$ Vertices $P_2,$ $P_3,$ and $P_4$ are adjacent to $P_1,$ and for $1 \le i \le 4,$ vertices $P_i$ and $P_i'$ are opposite to each other. A regular octahedron has one vertex in each of the segments $P_1P_2,$ $P_1P_3,$ $P_1P_4,$ $P_1'P_2',$ $P_1'P_3',$ and $P_1'P_4'.$ What is the octahedron’s side length?
