Prove the following theorem:
If the intersection of any plane that has more than one point in common with the surface $F$ is a circle, then $F$ is a sphere (surface).
Could the four centers of the circles inscribed into the faces of a tetrahedron be coplanar?

Three faces of a tetrahedron are right triangles, while the fourth is not an obtuse triangle.

A cylindrical container of revolution is partially filled with a liquid whose density we ignore. Placing it with the axis inclined $30^o$ with respect to the vertical, we observe that when removing liquid so that the level falls $1$ cm, the weight of the contents decreases $40$ g. How much will the weight of that content decrease for each centimeter that lower the level if the axis makes an angle of $45^o$ with the vertical? It is supposed that the horizontal surface of the liquid does not touch any of the bases of the container.
Sphere $S$ with radius $100$ has diameter $\overline{AB}$ and center $C$. Four small spheres all with radius $17$ have centers that lie in a plane perpendicular to $\overline{AB}$ such that each of the four spheres is internally tangent to $S$ and externally tangent to two of the other small spheres. Find the radius of the smallest sphere that is both externally tangent to two of the four spheres with radius $17$ and internally tangent to $S$ at a point in the plane perpendicular to $\overline{AB}$ at $C$.
For a regular hexahedron and a regular octahedron, all their faces are regular triangles, whose lengths of each side are $a$. Their inradius are $r_1,r_2$. $\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{m}{n}, \gcd(m,n)=1$. Then $mn=$________.
Let $ABCD$ be a tetrahedron. Denote by $S_1$ the inscribed sphere inside it, which is tangent to all four faces. Denote by $S_2$ the outer escribed sphere outside $ABC$, tangent to face $ABC$ and to the planes containing faces $ABD,ACD,BCD$. Let $K$ be the tangency point of $S_1$ to the face $ABC$, and let $L$ be the tangency point of $S_2$ to the face $ABC$. Let $T$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $D$ to the face $ABC$.
Prove that $L,T,K$ lie on one line.
Viktor and Natalia play a colouring game with a 3-dimensional cube taking turns alternatingly. Viktor goes first, and on each of his turns, he selects an unpainted edge, and paints it violet. On each of Natalia's turns, she selects an unpainted edge, or at most once during the game a face diagonal, and paints it neon green. If the player on turn cannot make a legal move, then the turn switches to the other player. The game ends when nobody can make any more legal moves.
Natalia wins if at the end of the game every vertex of the cube can be reached from every other vertex by traveling only along neon green segments (edges or diagonal), otherwise Viktor wins.
Who has a winning strategy? (Prove your answer.)

How many ways are there to color a tetrahedron’s faces, edges, and vertices in red, green, and blue so that no face shares a color with any of its edges, and no edge shares a color with any of its endpoints? (Rotations and reflections are considered distinct.)

Monika made a paper model of a tetrahedron whose base is a right-angled triangle. When she cut the model along the legs of the base and the median of a lateral face corresponding to one of the legs, she obtained a square of side a. Compute the volume of the tetrahedron.

Show that for an arbitrary tetrahedron there are two planes such that the ratio of the areas of the projections of the tetrahedron onto the two planes is not less than $\sqrt2$.
A bug starts at one vertex of a cube and moves along the edges of the cube according to the following rule. At each vertex the bug will choose to travel along one of the three edges emanating from that vertex. Each edge has equal probability of being chosen, and all choices are independent. What is the probability that after seven moves the bug will have visited every vertex exactly once?
