A convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ will be called [i]rude[/i] if there exists a convex quadrilateral $PQRS$ whose points are all in the interior or on the sides of quadrilateral $ABCD$ such that the sum of diagonals of $PQRS$ is larger than the sum of diagonals of $ABCD$.
Let $r>0$ be a real number. Let us assume that a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ is not rude, but every quadrilateral $A'BCD$ such that $A'\neq A$ and $A'A\leq r$ is rude. Find all possible values of the largest angle of $ABCD$.

Anne and Lisa enter a park that has two concentric circular paths joined by two radial paths, one of which is at the point where they enter. Anne goes in to the inner circle along the first radial path, around by the shorter way to the second radial path and out along it to the exit. Walking at a the same rate, Lisa goes around the outer circle to the exit, taking the shorter of the two directions around the park.
They arrive at the exit at the same time. The radial paths meet at the center of the park; what is the angle between them?

Sir Alex plays the following game on a row of 9 cells. Initially, all cells are empty. In each move, Sir Alex is allowed to perform exactly one of the following two operations:
[list=1]
[*] Choose any number of the form $2^j$, where $j$ is a non-negative integer, and put it into an empty cell.
[*] Choose two (not necessarily adjacent) cells with the same number in them; denote that number by $2^j$. Replace the number in one of the cells with $2^{j+1}$ and erase the number in the other cell.
[/list]
At the end of the game, one cell contains $2^n$, where $n$ is a given positive integer, while the other cells are empty. Determine the maximum number of moves that Sir Alex could have made, in terms of $n$.
