Spheres tangent to all the faces of a simplex

There are at most 2ⁿ spheres tangent to all n + 1 faces of an n-simplex. It has been shown that the minimum number of such spheres is $\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{? c(n,}\text{1}\text{2}\text{(n + 1))}$ if n is odd and $\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{? c(n,}\text{1}\text{2}\text{(n + 1))}$ if n is even. The object of this note is to show that this result is a consequence of a theorem in graph theory.
