When playing pool, Joe decides that a ball has to hit at least $2$ sides before getting into a hole or else the shot does not count. What is the minimum distance a ball can travel after being hit on this table if it was hit at a vertex (assume it only stops after going into a hole) such that the shot counts? PS.

In some country several pairs of cities are connected by direct two-way flights. It is possible to go from any city to any other by a sequence of flights. The distance between two cities is defined to be the least possible numbers of flights required to go from one of them to the other. It is known that for any city there are at most $100$ cities at distance exactly three from it. Prove that there is no city such that more than $2550$ other cities have distance exactly four from it.
