Through a random point $C_1$ from the edge $DC$ of the regular tetrahedron $ABCD$ is drawn a plane, parallel to the plane $ABC$. The plane constructed intersects the edges $DA$ and $DB$ at the points $A_1,B_1$ respectively. Let the point $H$ is the midpoint of the altitude through the vertex $D$ of the tetrahedron $DA_1B_1C_1$ and $M$ is the center of gravity (barycenter) of the triangle $ABC_1$. Prove that the measure of the angle $HMC$ doesn’t depend on the position of the point $C_1$. [i](Ivan Tonov)[/i]

A sphere with unit radius is given. Furthermore, circles $k_0,k_1,\ldots,k_n\ (n\ge3)$ of the same radius $r$ are given on the sphere. The circle $k_0$ is tangent to all other circles $k_i$ and every two circles $k_i,k_{i+1}$ are tangent for $i=1,\ldots,n$ (assuming $k_{n+1}=k_1$).
a) Find relation between numbers $n,r.$
b) Determine for which $n$ the described situation can occur and compute the corresponding radius $r.$
(We say non-planar circles are tangent if they have only a single common point and their tangent lines in this point coincide.)

Let $A_1B_1C_1D_1A_2B_2C_2D_2$ be a unit cube, with $A_1B_1C_1D_1$ and $A_2B_2C_2D_2$ opposite square faces, and let $M$ be the center of face $A_2 B_2 C_2 D_2$. Rectangular pyramid $MA_1B_1C_1D_1$ is cut out of the cube. If the surface area of the remaining solid can be expressed in the form $a + \sqrt{b}$, where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers and $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime, find $a+b$.

An ant walks on the interior surface of a cube, he moves on a straight line. If ant reaches to an edge the he moves on a straight line on cube's net. Also if he reaches to a vertex he will return his path.
a) Prove that for each beginning point ant can has infinitely many choices for his direction that its path becomes periodic.
b) Prove that if if the ant starts from point $A$ and its path is periodic, then for each point $B$ if ant starts with this direction, then his path becomes periodic.
