Elías and Juanca solve the same problem by posing a quadratic equation. Elijah is wrong when writing the independent term and gets as results of the problem $-1$ and $-3$. Juanca is wrong only when writing the coefficient of the first degree term and gets as results of the problem $16$ and $-2$. What are the correct results of the problem?

Two right circular cones with vertices facing down as shown in the figure below contain the same amount of liquid. The radii of the tops of the liquid surfaces are $3 \text{ cm}$ and $6 \text{ cm}$. Into each cone is dropped a spherical marble of radius $1 \text{ cm}$, which sinks to the bottom and is completely submerged without spilling any liquid. What is the ratio of the rise of the liquid level in the narrow cone to the rise of the liquid level in the wide cone? $\textbf{(A) }1:1 \qquad \textbf{(B) }47:43 \qquad \textbf{(C) }2:1 \qquad \textbf{(D) }40:13 \qquad \textbf{(E) }4:1$ [asy] size(350); defaultpen(linewidth(0.8)); real h1 = 10, r = 3.1, s=0.75; pair P = (r,h1), Q = (-r,h1), Pp = s * P, Qp = s * Q; path e = ellipse((0,h1),r,0.9), ep = ellipse((0,h1*s),r*s,0.9); draw(ellipse(origin,r*(s-0.1),0.8)); fill(ep,gray(0.8)); fill(origin--Pp--Qp--cycle,gray(0.8)); draw((-r,h1)--(0,0)--(r,h1)^^e); draw(subpath(ep,0,reltime(ep,0.5)),linetype("4 4")); draw(subpath(ep,reltime(ep,0.5),reltime(ep,1))); draw(Qp--(0,Qp.y),Arrows(size=8)); draw(origin--(0,12),linetype("4 4")); draw(origin--(r*(s-0.1),0)); label("$3$",(-0.9,h1*s),N,fontsize(10)); real h2 = 7.5, r = 6, s=0.6, d = 14; pair P = (d+r-0.05,h2-0.15), Q = (d-r+0.05,h2-0.15), Pp = s * P + (1-s)*(d,0), Qp = s * Q + (1-s)*(d,0); path e = ellipse((d,h2),r,1), ep = ellipse((d,h2*s+0.09),r*s,1); draw(ellipse((d,0),r*(s-0.1),0.8)); fill(ep,gray(0.8)); fill((d,0)--Pp--Qp--cycle,gray(0.8)); draw(P--(d,0)--Q^^e); draw(subpath(ep,0,reltime(ep,0.5)),linetype("4 4")); draw(subpath(ep,reltime(ep,0.5),reltime(ep,1))); draw(Qp--(d,Qp.y),Arrows(size=8)); draw((d,0)--(d,10),linetype("4 4")); draw((d,0)--(d+r*(s-0.1),0)); label("$6$",(d-r/4,h2*s-0.06),N,fontsize(10)); [/asy]

Prove that there is no inclined plane such that any tetrahedron placed arbitrarily with a certain face on the plane will not fall over. It means the following: Given a plane $ \pi $ and a line $ l $ not perpendicular to it. Prove that there is a tetrahedron $ T $ such that for each of its faces $ S $ there is in the plane $ \pi $ a triangle $ ABC $ congruent to $ S $ and there is a point $ D $ such that the tetrahedron $ ABCD $ congruent to $ T $ and the line parallel to $ l $ passing through the center of gravity of the tetrahedron $ ABCD $ does not intersect the triangle $ ABC $. Note. The center of gravity of a tetrahedron is the intersection point of the segments connecting the centers of gravity of the faces of this tetrahedron with the opposite vertices (it is known that such a point always exists).
