The best parts of grandma’s $30$ cm $ \times 30$ cm square shaped pie are the edges. For this reason grandma’s three grandchildren would like to split the pie between each other so that everyone gets the same amount (of the area) of the pie, but also of the edges. Can they cut the pie into three connected pieces like that?

The polyhedron $PABCDQ$ has the form shown in the figure. It is known that $ABCD$ is parallelogram, the planes of the triangles of the $PAC$ and $PBD$ mutually perpendicular, and also mutually perpendicular are the planes of triangles $QAC$ and $QBC$. Each face of this polyhedron is painted black or white so that the faces that have a common edge are painted in different colors. Prove that the sum of the squares of the areas of the black faces is equal to the sum of the squares of the areas of the white faces.
