A set $ S$ of points in space satisfies the property that all pairwise distances between points in $ S$ are distinct. Given that all points in $ S$ have integer coordinates $ (x,y,z)$ where $ 1 \leq x,y, z \leq n,$ show that the number of points in $ S$ is less than $ \min \Big((n \plus{} 2)\sqrt {\frac {n}{3}}, n \sqrt {6}\Big).$ [i]Dan Schwarz, Romania[/i]

Let $ABC$ a triangle be given with $BC = a$, $CA = b$, $AB = c$ ($a \neq b \neq c \neq a$). In plane ($ABC$) take the points $A'$, $B'$, $C'$ such that: [b]I.[/b] The pairs of points $A$ and $A'$, $B$ and $B'$, $C$ and $C'$ either all lie in one side either all lie in different sides under the lines $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ respectively; [b]II.[/b] Triangles $A'BC$, $B'CA$, $C'AB$ are similar isosceles triangles. Find the value of angle $A'BC$ as function of $a, b, c$ such that lengths $AA', BB', CC'$ are not sides of an triangle.

A paper equilateral triangle $ABC$ has side length $12$. The paper triangle is folded so that vertex $A$ touches a point on side $\overline{BC}$ a distance $9$ from point $B$. The length of the line segment along which the triangle is folded can be written as $\frac{m\sqrt{p}}{n}$, where $m$, $n$, and $p$ are positive integers, $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime, and $p$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n+p$.
