In the land of knights (who always tell the truth) and liars (who always lie), 10 people sit at a round table, each at a vertex of an inscribed regular 10-gon, at least one of them is a liar. A traveler can stand at any point outside the table and ask the people: ”What is the distance from me to the nearest liar at the table?” After that each person at the table gives him an answer. What is the minimal number of questions the traveler has to ask to determine which people at the table are liars? (Both the people at the table and the traveler should be considered as points, and everyone can compute the distance between any two points) (10 points) Maxim Didin

In $ xyz$ space, consider two points $ P(1,\ 0,\ 1),\ Q(\minus{}1,\ 1,\ 0).$ Let $ S$ be the surface generated by rotation the line segment $ PQ$ about $ x$ axis. Answer the following questions.
