A regular tetrahedron with unit edge length is given. Prove that: (a) There exist four points on the surface $S$ of the tetrahedron, such that the distance from any point of the surface to one of these four points does not exceed $1/2$; (b) There do not exist three points with this property. The distance between two points on surface $S$ is defined as the length of the shortest polygonal line going over $S$ and connecting the two points.

Let $\Gamma = \{\varepsilon,0,00,\ldots\}$ be the set of all finite strings consisting of only zeroes. We consider $\textit{six-state unary DFAs}$ $D = (F,q_0,\delta)$ where $F$ is a subset of $Q = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$, not necessarily strict and possibly empty; $q_0\in Q$ is some $\textit{start state}$; and $\delta: Q\rightarrow Q$ is the $\textit{transition function}$. For each such DFA $D$, we associate a set $F_D\subseteq\Gamma$ as the set of all strings $w\in\Gamma$ such that \[\underbrace{\delta(\cdots(\delta(q_0))\cdots)}_{|w|\text{ applications}}\in F,\] We say a set $\mathcal D$ of DFAs is $\textit{diverse}$ if for all $D_1,D_2\in\mathcal D$ we have $F_{D_1}\neq F_{D_2}$. What is the maximum size of a diverse set?

We call a $n$-tuple $(a_1, . . . , a_n)$ of positive integers [i]nice [/i] if $\bullet$ $gcd (a_1, . . . , a_n) = 1$, and $\bullet$ $a_i|a_{i-1} + a_{i+1}$, for all $i = 1, . . . , n$ (we define $a_0 = a_n$ and $a_{n+1} = a1$ here).

Martin invented the following algorithm. Let two irreducible fractions $ \frac{s_1}{t_1}$ and $ \frac{s_2}{t_2}$ be given as inputs, with the numerators and denominators being positive integers. Divide $ s_1$ and $ s_2$ by their greatest common divisor $ c$ and obtain $ a_1$ and $ a_2$, respectively. Similarily, divide $ t_1$ and $ t_2$ by their greatest common divisor $ d$ and obtain $ b_1$ and $ b_2$, respectively. After that, form a new fraction $ \frac{a_1b_2 \plus{} a_2b_1}{t_1b_2}$, reduce it, and multiply the numerator of the result by $ c$. Martin claims that this algorithm always finds the sum of the original fractions as an irreducible fraction. Is his claim correct?
