[list](a) Prove the claim for $r \ge \frac43$ and $r \le 0$. (b) Let $p,q$ be different odd primes such that $3p <4q$. Prove that the claim for $r=\frac{p}q$ does not hold. [/list]

In triangle $ABC$ we inscribe a square such that one of the sides of the square lies on the side $AC$, and the other two vertices lie on sides $AB$ and $BC$. Furthermore we know that $AC = 5$, $BC = 4$ and $AB = 3$. This square cuts out three smaller triangles from $\vartriangle ABC$. Express the sum of reciprocals of the inradii of these three small triangles as a fraction $p/q$ in lowest terms (i.e. with $p$ and $q$ coprime). What is $p + q$?

I call two people $A$ and $B$ and think of a natural number $n$. Then I give the number $n$ to $A$ and the number $n+1$ to $B$. I tell them that they have both been given natural numbers, and further that they are consecutive natural numbers. However, I don't tell $A$ what $B$'s number is and vice versa. I start by asing $A$ if he knows $B$'s number. He says "no", Then I ask $B$ if he knows $A$'s number, and he says "no" too. I go back to $A$ and ask, and so on. $A$ and $B$ can both hear each other's responses. Do I ever get a "yes" in response? If so, who responds first with "yes" and how many times does he say "no" before this? Assume that both $A$ and $B$ are very intelligent and logical. You may need to consider multiple cases.
