A regular pentagon $A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5$ with side length $s$ is given. At each point $A_i$, a sphere $K_i$ of radius $\frac{s}{2}$ is constructed. There are two spheres $K_1$ and $K_2$ each of radius $\frac{s}{2}$ touching all the five spheres $K_i.$ Decide whether $K_1$ and $K_2$ intersect each other, touch each other, or have no common points.

A wooden cube with edge length $ n$ units (where $ n$ is an integer $ >2$) is painted black all over. By slices parallel to its faces, the cube is cut into $ n^3$ smaller cubes each of unit length. If the number of smaller cubes with just one face painted black is equal to the number of smaller cubes completely free of paint, what is $ n$?

Pyramid $EARLY$ is placed in $(x,y,z)$ coordinates so that $E=(10,10,0),A=(10,-10,0)$, $R=(-10,-10,0)$, $L=(-10,10,0)$, and $Y=(0,0,10)$. Tunnels are drilled through the pyramid in such a way that one can move from $(x,y,z)$ to any of the $9$ points $(x,y,z-1)$, $(x\pm 1,y,z-1)$, $(x,y\pm 1, z-1)$, $(x\pm 1, y\pm 1, z-1)$. Sean starts at $Y$ and moves randomly down to the base of the pyramid, choosing each of the possible paths with probability $\dfrac{1}{9}$. What is the probability that he ends up at the point $(8,9,0)$?
