Can a regular triangle be placed inside a regular hexagon in such a way that all vertices of the triangle were seen from each vertex of the hexagon? (Point $A$ is seen from $B$, if the segment $AB$ dots not contain internal points of the triangle.)

For any nonnegative integer $r$, let $S_r$ be a function whose domain is the natural numbers that satisfies $$S_r(p^{\alpha}) = \begin{cases} 0\,\, if \,\, if \,\, p \le r \\ p^{{\alpha}-1}(p -r) \,\, if \,\,p > r \end{cases}$$ for all primes $p$ and positive integers ${\alpha}$, and that $S_r(ab) = S_r(a)Sr_(b)$ whenever $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime. Now, suppose there are $n$ squirrels at a party. Each squirrel is labeled with a unique number from the set $\{1, 2,..., n\}$. Two squirrels are friends with each other if and only if the difference between their labels is relatively prime to $n$. For example, if $n = 10$, then the squirrels with labels $3$ and $10$ are friends with each other because $10 - 3 = 7$, and $7$ is relatively prime to $10$. Fix a positive integer $m$. Define a clique of size $m$ to be any set of m squirrels at the party with the property that any two squirrels in the clique are friends with each other. Determine, with proof, a formula (using $S_r$) for the number of cliques of size $m$ at the squirrel party.

Ten people apply for a job. The manager decides to interview the candidates one by one according to the following conditions: i) the first three candidates will not be employed; ii) from the fourth candidates onwards, if a candidate's comptence surpasses the competence of all those who preceded him, then that candidate is employed; iii) if the first nine candidates are not employed, then the tenth candidate will be employed. We assume that none of the $10$ applicants have the same competence, and these competences can be ranked from the first to tenth. Let $P_k$ represent the probability that the $k$th-ranked applicant in competence is employed. Prove that: i) $P_1>P_2>\ldots>P_8=P_9=P_{10}$; ii) $P_1+P_2+P_3>0.7$ iii) $P_8+P_9+P_{10}\le 0.1$.
