1987 IMO Shortlist, 10

Let $S_1$ and $S_2$ be two spheres with distinct radii that touch externally. The spheres lie inside a cone $C$, and each sphere touches the cone in a full circle. Inside the cone there are $n$ additional solid spheres arranged in a ring in such a way that each solid sphere touches the cone $C$, both of the spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ externally, as well as the two neighboring solid spheres. What are the possible values of $n$? [i]Proposed by Iceland.[/i]

Trodgor the dragon is burning down a village consisting of $ 90$ cottages. At time $ t \equal{} 0$ an angry peasant arises from each cottage, and every $ 8$ minutes ($ 480$ seconds) thereafter another angry peasant spontaneously generates from each non-burned cottage. It takes Trodgor $ 5$ seconds to either burn a peasant or to burn a cottage, but Trodgor cannot begin burning cottages until all the peasants around him have been burned. How many [b]seconds[/b] does it take Trodgor to burn down the entire village?
