Karina, Leticia and Milena paint glass bottles and sell them as decoration. they had $100$ bottles, and they decorated them in such a way that each bottle was painted by a single person. After the finished, they put all the bottles on a table. In an oversight one of them pushed the table, falling and breaking exactly $\frac18$ of the bottles that Karina painted, $\frac13$ of the bottles that Milena, painted and $\frac16$ of the bottles that Leticia painted. In total, $82$ painted bottles remained unbroken. Knowing that the number of broken bottles that Milena had painted is equal to the average of the amounts of broken bottles painted by Karina and Leticia, how many bottles did each of them paint?

Suppose that Romeo and Juliet each have a regular tetrahedron to the vertices of which some positive real numbers are assigned. They associate each edge of their tetrahedra with the product of the two numbers assigned to its end points. Then they write on each face of their tetrahedra the sum of the three numbers associated to its three edges. The four numbers written on the faces of Romeo's tetrahedron turn out to coincide with the four numbers written on Juliet's tetrahedron. Does it follow that the four numbers assigned to the vertices of Romeo's tetrahedron are identical to the four numbers assigned to the vertices of Juliet's tetrahedron?
