In a triangle $ ABC$ incircle touches the sides $ AB$, $ AC$ and $ BC$ at $ C_1$, $ B_1$ and $ A_1$ respectively. Prove that $ \sqrt {\frac {AB_1}{AB}} \plus{} \sqrt {\frac {BC_1}{BC}} \plus{} \sqrt {\frac {CA_1}{CA}}\leq\frac {3}{\sqrt {2}}$ is true.

Professor Oak is feeding his $100$ Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a bowl whose capacity is a positive real number of kilograms. These capacities are known to Professor Oak. The total capacity of all the bowls is $100$ kilograms. Professor Oak distributes $100$ kilograms of food in such a way that each Pokémon receives a non-negative integer number of kilograms of food (which may be larger than the capacity of the bowl). The [i]dissatisfaction level[/i] of a Pokémon who received $N$ kilograms of food and whose bowl has a capacity of $C$ kilograms is equal to $\lvert N-C\rvert$. Find the smallest real number $D$ such that, regardless of the capacities of the bowls, Professor Oak can distribute food in a way that the sum of the dissatisfaction levels over all the $100$ Pokémon is at most $D$.
