We will say that two pyramids touch each other by faces if they have no common interior points and if the intersection of a face of one of them with a face of the other is either a triangle or a polygon. Is it possible to place $8$ tetrahedra in such a way that every two of them touch each other by faces?

Consider the paper triangle whose vertices are $(0,0), (34,0),$ and $(16,24).$ The vertices of its midpoint triangle are the midpoints of its sides. A triangular pyramid is formed by folding the triangle along the sides of its midpoint triangle. What is the volume of this pyramid?
A positive integer is written on each of the six faces of a cube. For each vertex of the cube we compute the product of the numbers on the three adjacent faces. The sum of these products is $1001$. What is the sum of the six numbers on the faces?
On each edge of a regular tetrahedron, five points that separate the edge into six equal segments are marked. There are twenty planes that are parallel to a face of the tetrahedron and pass through exactly three of the marked points. When the tetrahedron is cut along each of these twenty planes, how many new tetrahedrons are produced?
