We have $3$ circles such that any $2$ of them are externally tangent. Let $a$ be length of the outer tangent common to a pair of them. The lengths $b$ and $c$ are defined similarly. If $T$ is the sum of the areas of such circles, show that $\pi (a + b + c)^2 \le 12T $.
Note: In In the case of externally tangent circles, the common external tangent is the segment tangent to them that touches them at different points.

We attach to the vertices of a regular hexagon the numbers $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$. Now, we are allowed to transform the numbers by the following rules:
(a) We can add an arbitrary integer to the numbers at two opposite vertices.
(b) We can add an arbitrary integer to the numbers at three vertices forming an equilateral triangle.
(c) We can subtract an integer $t$ from one of the six numbers and simultaneously add $t$ to the two neighbouring numbers.
Can we, just by acting several times according to these rules, get a cyclic permutation of the initial numbers? (I. e., we started with $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$; can we now get $0$, $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $0$, $1$, $0$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $1$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $1$ ?)

Amy and Bob choose numbers from $0,1,2,\cdots,81$ in turn and Amy choose the number first. Every time the one who choose number chooses one number from the remaining numbers. When all $82$ numbers are chosen, let $A$ be the sum of all the numbers Amy chooses, and let $B$ be the sum of all the numbers Bob chooses. During the process, Amy tries to make $\gcd(A,B)$ as great as possible, and Bob tries to make $\gcd(A,B)$ as little as possible. Suppose Amy and Bob take the best strategy of each one, respectively, determine $\gcd(A,B)$ when all $82$ numbers are chosen.
