Don Miguel places a token in one of the $(n+1)^2$ vertices determined by an $n \times n$ board. A [i]move[/i] consists of moving the token from the vertex on which it is placed to an adjacent vertex which is at most $\sqrt2$ away, as long as it stays on the board. A [i]path[/i] is a sequence of moves such that the token was in each one of the $(n+1)^2$ vertices exactly once. What is the maximum number of diagonal moves (those of length $\sqrt2$) that a path can have in total?

Suppose we have an (infinite) cone $ \mathcal C$ with apex $ A$ and a plane $ \pi$. The intersection of $ \pi$ and $ \mathcal C$ is an ellipse $ \mathcal E$ with major axis $ BC$, such that $ B$ is closer to $ A$ than $ C$, and $ BC \equal{} 4$, $ AC \equal{} 5$, $ AB \equal{} 3$. Suppose we inscribe a sphere in each part of $ \mathcal C$ cut up by $ \mathcal E$ with both spheres tangent to $ \mathcal E$. What is the ratio of the radii of the spheres (smaller to larger)?
