Two non-coplanar circles in space are tangent at a point and have the same tangents at this point. Show that both circles lie on some sphere.
Three concentric circles have radii $3$, $4$, and $5$. An equilateral triangle with one vertex on each circle has side length $s$. The largest possible area of the triangle can be written as $a+\frac{b}{c}\sqrt{d}$, where $a,b,c$ and $d$ are positive integers, $b$ and $c$ are relatively prime, and $d$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a+b+c+d$.

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).

A sphere touches all edges of a tetrahedron. Let $a, b, c$ and d be the segments of the tangents to the sphere from the vertices of the tetrahedron. Is it true that that some of these segments necessarily form a triangle?
(It is not obligatory to use all segments. The side of the triangle can be formed by two segments)
Given is a pyramid $SA_1A_2A_3\ldots A_n$ whose base is convex polygon $A_1A_2A_3\ldots A_n$. For every $i=1,2,3,\ldots ,n$ there is a triangle $X_iA_iA_{i+1} $ congruent to triangle $SA_iA_{i+1}$ that lies on the same side from $A_iA_{i+1}$ as the base of that pyramid. (You can assume $a_1$ is the same as $a_{n+1}$.) Prove that these triangles together cover the entire base.

A solid figure consisting of unit cubes is shown in the picture. Is it possible to exactly fill a cube with these figures if the side length of the cube is

Let $C$ be a cube with edges of length 2. Construct a solid with fourteen faces by cutting off all eight corners at $C,$ keeping the new faces perpendicular to the diagonals of the cube, and keeping the newly formed faces indentical. If at the conclusion of this process the fourteen faces so have the same area, find the area of each of face of the new solid.
[b]U[/b]ndecillion years ago in a galaxy far, far away, there were four space stations in the three-dimensional space, each pair spaced 1 light year away from each other. Admiral Ackbar wanted to establish a base somewhere in space such that the sum of squares of the distances from the base to each of the stations does not exceed 15 square light years. (The sizes of the space stations and the base are negligible.) Determine the volume, in cubic light years, of the set of all possible locations for the Admiral’s base.
A pyramid with a quadrangular base is given such that each pair of circles inscribed in adjacent faces has a common point. Prove that the touchpoints of these circles with the base of the pyramid lie on one circle.
One triangular face $F$ of a tetrahedron $\mathcal{T}$ has side lengths $\sqrt{5}$, $\sqrt{65}$, and $2\sqrt{17}$. The other three faces of $\mathcal{T}$ are right triangles whose hypotenuses coincide with the sides of $F$. There exists a sphere inside $\mathcal{T}$ tangent to all four of its faces. Compute the radius of this sphere.
