In the Crelle $[ABCD]$ tetrahedron, we note with $A',B',C',A'',B'',C''$ the tangent points of the hexatangent sphere $\varphi(J,\rho)$, associated with the tetrahedron, with the edges $|BC|,|CA|,|AB|,|DA|,|DB|,|DC|$. Show that these inequalities occur: a) $$2\sqrt3R\ge6\rho\ge A'A''+B'B''+C'C''\ge6\sqrt3r$$ b) $$4R^2\ge12\rho^2\ge(A'A'')^2+(B'B'')^2+(C'C'')^2\ge36r^2$$ c) $$\frac{8R^3}{3\sqrt3}\ge8\rho^3\ge A'A''\cdot B'B''\cdot C'C''\ge24\sqrt3r^3$$ where $r,R$ is the length of the radius of the sphere inscribed and respectively circumscribed to the tetrahedron.

In a certain geometry we operate with two types of elements, points and lines, related to each other by the following axioms: [b]I.[/b] Given two points $A$ and $B$, there is a unique line $(AB)$ that passes through both. [b]II. [/b]There are at least two points on a line. There are three points not situated on a straight line. [b]III.[/b] When a point $B$ is located between $A$ and $C$, then $B$ is also between $C$ and $A$. ($A, B, C$ are three different points on a line.) [b]IV.[/b] Given two points $A$ and $C$, there exists at least one point $B$ on the line $(AC)$ of the form that C is between $A$ and $B$. [b]V.[/b] Among three points located on the same straight line, one at most is between the other two. [b]VI.[/b] If $A, B, C$ are three points not lying on the same line and a is a line that does not contain any of the three, when the line passes through a point on segment [AB] , then it goes through one of the $[BC]$ , or it goes through one of the [AC] . (We designate by [AB] the set of points that lie between $A$ and $B$.) From the previous axioms, prove the following propositions: Theorem 1. Between points A and C there is at least one point $B$. Theorem 2. Among three points located on a line, one is always between the two others.

A circle $C$ with radius $3$ has an equilateral triangle inscribed in it. Let $D$ be a circle lying outside the equilateral triangle, tangent to $C$, and tangent to the equilateral triangle at the midpoint of one of its sides. The radius of $D$ can be written in the form $m/n$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m + n$.

The maze is an $8 \times 8 $square, each cell contains $1 \times 1$ which has one of four arrows drawn (up, down, right, left). The upper side of the upper right cell is the exit from the maze.In the lower left cell there is a chip that, with each move, moves one square in the direction indicated by the arrow. After each move, the shooter in the cell in which there was just a chip rotates $90^o$ clockwise. If a chip must move, taking it outside the $8 \times 8$ square, it remains in place, and the arrow also rotates $90^o$ clockwise. Prove that sooner or later, the chip will come out of the maze.

Let $\nu$ be an irrational positive number, and let $m$ be a positive integer. A pair of $(a,b)$ of positive integers is called [i]good[/i] if \[a \left \lceil b\nu \right \rceil - b \left \lfloor a \nu \right \rfloor = m.\] A good pair $(a,b)$ is called [i]excellent[/i] if neither of the pair $(a-b,b)$ and $(a,b-a)$ is good. Prove that the number of excellent pairs is equal to the sum of the positive divisors of $m$.

Given several numbers, one of them, $a$, is chosen and replaced by the three numbers $\frac{a}{3}, \frac{a}{3}, \frac{a}{3}$. This process is repeated with the new set of numbers, and so on. Originally, there are $1000$ ones, and we apply the process several times. A number $m$ is called [i]good[/i] if there are $m$ or more numbers that are the same after each iteration, no matter how many or what operations are performed. Find the largest possible good number.

For $n\geq 2$ , an equilateral triangle is divided into $n^2$ congruent smaller equilateral triangles. Detemine all ways in which real numbers can be assigned to the $\frac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}$ vertices so that three such numbers sum to zero whenever the three vertices form a triangle with edges parallel to the sides of the big triangle.

Start with a six-digit whole number $X$, and for a new whole number $Y$, by moving the first three digits of $X$ after the last three digits. (For example, if $X = \textbf{154},377$, then $Y = 377,\textbf{154}$.) Show that, when divided by $27$, both $X$ and $Y$ give the same remainder.

A teacher creates a fraction using numbers from $1$ to $12$ (including $12$). He writes some of the numbers on the numerator, and writes $\times$ (multiplication) between each number. Then he writes the rest of the numbers in the denominator and also writes $\times$ between each number. There is at least one number both in numerator and denominator. The teacher ensures that the fraction is equal to the smallest possible integer possible. What is this positive integer, which is also the value of the fraction?

The Duke of Squares left to his three sons a square estate, $100\times 100$ square miles, made up of ten thousand $1\times 1$ square mile square plots. The whole estate was divided among his sons as follows. Each son was assigned a point inside the estate. A $1\times 1$ square plot was bequeathed to the son whose assigned point was closest to the center of this square plot. Is it true that, irrespective of the choice of assigned points, each of the regions bequeathed to the sons is connected (that is, there is a path between every two of its points, never leaving the region)?

The distance between Maykop and Belorechensk is $24$ km. Two of three friends need to reach Belorechensk from Maykop and another friend wants to reach Maykop from Belorechensk. They have only one bike, which is initially in Maykop. Each guy may go on foot (with velocity at most $6$ kmph) or on a bike (with velocity at most $18$ kmph). It is forbidden to leave a bike on a road. Prove that all of them may achieve their goals after $2$ hours $40$ minutes. (Only one guy may seat on the bike simultaneously). [i]Folclore[/i]
