Let $ ABCD $ be a tetrahedron with $ \angle ABC = \angle ABD = \angle CBD = 90^\circ $ and $ AB = BC $. Let $ E, F, G $ be points on $ \overline{AD} $, $ BD $, and $ \overline{CD} $, respectively, such that each of the quadrilaterals $ AEFB $, $ BFGC $, and $ CGEA $ have an inscribed circle. Let $ r $ be the smallest real number such that $ \dfrac{[\triangle EFG]}{[\triangle ABC]} \leq r $ for all such configurations $ A, B, C, D, E, F, G $. If $ r $ can be expressed as $ \dfrac{\sqrt{a - b\sqrt{c}}}{d} $ where $ a, b, c, d $ are positive integers with $ \gcd(a, b) $ squarefree and $ c $ squarefree, find $ a + b + c + d $.
Note: Here, $ [P] $ denotes the area of polygon $ P $. (This wasn't in the original test; instead they used the notation $ \text{area}(P) $, which is clear but frankly cumbersome. :P)

Watermelon(a sphere) with radius $R$ lies on a table. $n$ flies fly above the table, each at distance $\sqrt{2}R$ from the center of the watermelon. At some moment any fly couldn't see any of the other flies. (Flies can't see each other, if the segment connecting them intersects or touches watermelon).

Say that a positive integer is [i]sweet[/i] if it uses only the digits 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8. For instance, 2014 is sweet. There are sweet integers whose squares are sweet: some examples (not necessarily the smallest) are 1, 2, 11, 12, 20, 100, 202, and 210. There are sweet integers whose cubes are sweet: some examples (not necessarily the smallest) are 1, 2, 10, 20, 200, 202, 281, and 2424. Prove that there exists a sweet positive integer $n$ whose square and cube are both sweet, such that the sum of all the digits of $n$ is 2014.
