In the plane, four points are marked. It is known that these points are the centers of four circles, three of which are pairwise externally tangent, and all these three are internally tangent to the fourth one. It turns out, however, that it is impossible to determine which of the marked points is the center of the fourth (the largest) circle. Prove that these four points are the vertices of a rectangle.

Georg and his mother love pizza. They buy a pizza shaped as an equilateral triangle. Georg demands to be allowed to divide the pizza by a straight cut and then make the first choice. The mother accepts this reluctantly, but she wants to choose a point of the pizza through which the cut must pass. Determine the largest fraction of the pizza which the mother is certain to get by this procedure.
