1974 Bulgaria National Olympiad, Problem 6

In triangle pyramid $MABC$ at least two of the plane angles next to the edge $M$ are not equal to each other. Prove that if the bisectors of these angles form the same angle with the angle bisector of the third plane angle, the following inequality is true $$8a_1b_1c_1\le a^2a_1+b^2b_1+c^2c_1$$ where $a,b,c$ are sides of triangle $ABC$ and $a_1,b_1,c_1$ are edges crossed respectively with $a,b,c$.

Barry has a standard die containing the numbers 1-6 on its faces. He rolls the die continuously, keeping track of the sum of the numbers he has rolled so far, starting from 0. Let $E_n$ be the expected number of time he needs to until his recorded sum is at least $n$. It turns out that there exist positive reals $a, b$ such that $$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} E_n - (an + b) = 0$$ Find $(a,b)$. [i]Proposed by Dilhan Salgado[/i]

Does there exist a functional equation[sup]1[/sup] that has a solution and the range of any of its solutions is the set of integers? [sup]1[/sup][size=75]A [i]functional equation[/i] has the form $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E = 0\)}$, where $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E\)}$ is a function form. The set of function forms is the smallest set $\mbox{\footnotesize \(\mathcal{F}\)}$ which contains the variables $\mbox{\footnotesize \(x_1, x_2, \dots\)}$, the real numbers $\mbox{\footnotesize \(r \in \mathbb{R}\)}$, and for which $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E, E_1, E_2 \in \mathcal{F}\)}$ implies $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E_1+E_2 \in \mathcal{F}\)}$, $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E_1 \cdot E_2 \in \mathcal{F}\)}$, and $\mbox{\footnotesize \(f(E) \in \mathcal{F}\)}$, where $\mbox{\footnotesize \(f\)}$ is a fixed function symbol. The solution of the functional equation $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E = 0\)}$ is a function $\mbox{\footnotesize \(f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\)}$ such that $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E = 0\)}$ holds for all values of the variables. E.g. $\mbox{\footnotesize \(f\big(x_1 + f(\sqrt{2} \cdot x_2 \cdot x_2)\big) + (-\pi) + (-1) \cdot x_1 \cdot x_1 \cdot x_2 = 0\)}$ is a functional equation.[/size]
