## Problem

Let Γ be a graph of diameter d. For i ∈ {1, 2,..., d}, let Γi be the graph on the same vertex set as Γ with vertices u, w adjacent in Γi if and only if dΓ (u, w) = i. Does there exist a Q-polynomial distance-regular graph Γ of diameter 3 such that Γ2 and Γ3 are strongly regular? This is Kourovka Notebook Problem \(21.90\).
