Starting from a pyramid $T_0$ whose edges are all of length $2019$, we construct the Figure $T_1$ when considering the triangles formed by the midpoints of the edges of each face of $T_0$, building in each of these new pyramid triangles with faces identical to base. Then the bases of these new pyramids are removed. Figure $T_2$ is constructed by applying the same process from $T_1$ on each triangular face resulting from $T_1$, and so on for $T_3, T_4, ...$
Let $D_0= \max \{d(x,y)\}$, where $x$ and $y$ are vertices of $T_0$ and $d(x,y)$ is the distance between $x$ and $y$. Then we define $D_{n + 1} = \max \{d (x, y) |d (x, y) \notin \{D_0, D_1,...,D_n\}$, where $x, y$ are vertices of $T_{n+1}$.
Find the value of $D_n$ for all $n$.

A triangle $ABC$ and spheres are given in space $S_1$ and $S_2$, each of which passes through points $A, B$ and $C$. For points $M$ spheres $S_1$ not lying in the plane of triangle $ABC$ are drawn lines $MA, MB$ and $MC$, intersecting the sphere $S_2$ for the second time at points $A_1,B_1$ and $C_1$, respectively. Prove that the planes passing through points $A_1, B_1$ and $C_1$, touch a fixed sphere or pass through a fixed point.
A plastic ball with a radius of 45 mm has a circular hole made in it. The hole is made to fit a ball with a radius of 35 mm, in such a way that the distance between their centers is 60 mm. Calculate the radius of the hole.
In tetrahedron $SABC$, the circumcircles of faces $SAB$, $SBC$, and $SCA$ each have radius $108$. The inscribed sphere of $SABC$, centered at $I$, has radius $35.$ Additionally, $SI = 125$. Let $R$ be the largest possible value of the circumradius of face $ABC$. Given that $R$ can be expressed in the form $\sqrt{\frac{m}{n}}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $m+n$.

Call a convex polyhedron a [i]footballoid [/i] if it has the following properties.
(1) Any face is either a regular pentagon or a regular hexagon.
(2) All neighbours of a pentagonal face are hexagonal (a [i]neighbour [/i] of a face is a face that has a common edge with it).
Find all possibilities for the number of pentagonal and hexagonal faces of a footballoid.

Consider two spheres $\Sigma_1$ and $\Sigma_2$ and a line $\Delta$ not meeting them. Let $C_i$ and $r_i$ be the center and radius of $\Sigma_i$, and let $H_i$ and $d_i$ be the orthogonal projection of $C_i$ onto $\Delta$ and the distance of $C_i$ from $\Delta~(i=1,2)$. For a point $M$ on $\Delta$, let $\delta_i(M)$ be the length of a tangent $MT_i$ to $\Sigma_i$, where $T_i\in\Sigma_i~(i=1,2)$. Find $M$ on $\Delta$ for which $\delta_1(M)+\delta_2(M)$ is minimal.
There is given a triangle $ABC$ in a space. A sphere does not intersect the plane of $ABC$. There are $4$ points $K, L, M, P$ on the sphere such that $AK, BL, CM$ are tangent to the sphere and $\frac{AK}{AP} = \frac{BL}{BP} = \frac{CM}{CP}$. Show that the sphere touches the circumsphere of $ABCP$.

Marla has a large white cube that has an edge of 10 feet. She also has enough green paint to cover 300 square feet. Marla uses all the paint to create a white square centered on each face, surrounded by a green border. What is the area of one of the white squares, in square feet?

There is an infinitely tall tetrahedral stack of spheres where each row of the tetrahedron consists of a triangular arrangement of spheres, as shown below. There is $1$ sphere in the top row (which we will call row $0$), $3$ spheres in row $1$, $6$ spheres in row $2$, $10$ spheres in row $3$, etc. The top-most sphere in row $0$ is assigned the number $1$. We then assign each other sphere the sum of the number(s) assigned to the sphere(s) which touch it in the row directly above it. Find a simplified expression in terms of $n$ for the sum of the numbers assigned to each sphere from row $0$ to row $n$.
