Given the tetrahedron $ABCD$ whose edges $AB$ and $CD$ have lengths $a$ and $b$ respectively. The distance between the skew lines $AB$ and $CD$ is $d$, and the angle between them is $\omega$. Tetrahedron $ABCD$ is divided into two solids by plane $\epsilon$, parallel to lines $AB$ and $CD$. The ratio of the distances of $\epsilon$ from $AB$ and $CD$ is equal to $k$. Compute the ratio of the volumes of the two solids obtained.

A [i]hypergraph[/i] consists of a set of vertices $V$ and a set of subsets of those vertices, each of which is called an edge. (Intuitively, it's a graph in which each edge can contain multiple vertices). Suppose that in some hypergraph, no two edges have exactly one vertex in common. Prove that one can color this hypergraph's vertices such that every edge contains both colors of vertices.
