In 3-dimensional space, two spheres centered at points $O_1$ and $O_2$ with radii $13$ and $20$ respectively intersect in a circle. Points $A, B, C$ lie on that circle, and lines $O_1A$ and $O_1B$ intersect sphere $O_2$ at points $D$ and $E$ respectively. Given that $O_1O_2 = AC = BC = 21,$ $DE$ can be expressed as $\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$ where $a,b,c$ are positive integers. Find $a+b+c$.

For a finite nonempty set $A$ of positive integers, $A =\{a_1, a_2,\dots , a_n\}$, we say the calamitous complement of A is the set of all positive integers $k$ for which there do not exist nonnegative integers $w_1, w_2, \dots , w_n$ with $k = a_1w_1 + a_2w_2 +\dots + a_nw_n.$ The calamitous complement of $A$ is denoted $cc(A)$. For example, $cc(\{5, 6, 9\}) = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 13\}$.
Find all pairs of positive integers $a, b$ with $1 < a < b$ for which there exists a set $G$ satisfying all of the following properties:
1. $G$ is a set of at most three positive integers,
2. $cc(\{a, b\})$ and $cc(G)$ are both finite sets, and
3. $cc(G) = cc(\{a, b\})\cup \{m\}$ for some $m$ not in $cc(\{a, b\})$.

There are $13$ stones each of which weighs an integer number of grams. It is known that any $12$ of them can be put on two pans of a balance scale, six on each pan, so that they are in equilibrium (i.e., each pan will carry an equal total weight). Prove that all stones weigh the same number of grams.

The $8$ eyelets for the lace of a sneaker all lie on a rectangle, four equally spaced on each of the longer sides. The rectangle has a width of $50$ mm and a length of $80$ mm. There is one eyelet at each vertex of the rectangle. The lace itself must pass between the vertex eyelets along a width side of the rectangle and then crisscross between successive eyelets until it reaches the two eyelets at the other width side of the rectrangle as shown. After passing through these final eyelets, each of the ends of the lace must extend at least $200$ mm farther to allow a knot to be tied. Find the minimum length of the lace in millimeters.
