In prism $JHOPKINS$, quadrilaterals $JHOP$ and $KINS$ are parallel and congruent bases that are kites, where $JH = JP = KI = KS$ and $OH = OP = NI = NS$; the longer two sides of each kite have length $\tfrac{4 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$, and the shorter two sides of each kite have length $\tfrac{5 + \sqrt{5}}{4}$. Assume that $\overline{JK}$, $\overline{HI}$, $\overline{ON}$, and $\overline{PS}$ are congruent edges of $JHOPKINS$ perpendicular to the planes containing $JHOP$ and $KINS$. Vertex $J$ is part of a regular pentagon $JAZZ'Y$ that can be inscribed in prism $JHOPKINS$ such that $A \in \overline{HI}$, $Z \in \overline{NI}$, $Z' \in \overline{NS}$, $Y \in \overline{PS}$, $AI = YS$, and $ZI = Z'S$. Compute the height of $JHOPKINS$ (that is, the distance between the bases).

Suppose that the closed subset $K$ of the sphere
$$S^2=\{ (x,y,z)\in \mathbb{R}^3\colon x^2+y^2+z^2=1 \}$$
is symmetric with respect to the origin and separates any two antipodal points in $S^2 \backslash K$. Prove that for any positive $\varepsilon$ there exists a homogeneous polynomial $P$ of odd degree such that the Hausdorff distance between
$$Z(P)=\{ (x,y,z)\in S^2 \colon P(x,y,z)=0\}$$

Prove that there is no inclined plane such that any tetrahedron placed arbitrarily with a certain face on the plane will not fall over.
It means the following:
Given a plane $ \pi $ and a line $ l $ not perpendicular to it. Prove that there is a tetrahedron $ T $ such that for each of its faces $ S $ there is in the plane $ \pi $ a triangle $ ABC $ congruent to $ S $ and there is a point $ D $ such that the tetrahedron $ ABCD $ congruent to $ T $ and the line parallel to $ l $ passing through the center of gravity of the tetrahedron $ ABCD $ does not intersect the triangle $ ABC $.
Note. The center of gravity of a tetrahedron is the intersection point of the segments connecting the centers of gravity of the faces of this tetrahedron with the opposite vertices (it is known that such a point always exists).

You want to paint some edges of a regular dodecahedron red so that each face has an even number of painted edges (which can be zero). Determine from How many ways this coloration can be done.
Note: A regular dodecahedron has twelve pentagonal faces and in each vertex concur three edges. The edges of the dodecahedron are all different for the purpose of the coloring . In this way, two colorings are the same only if the painted edges they are the same.
