Niki and Kyle play a triangle game. Niki first draws $\triangle ABC$ with area $1$, and Kyle picks a point $X$ inside $\triangle ABC$. Niki then draws segments $\overline{DG}$, $\overline{EH}$, and $\overline{FI}$, all through $X$, such that $D$ and $E$ are on $\overline{BC}$, $F$ and $G$ are on $\overline{AC}$, and $H$ and $I$ are on $\overline{AB}$. The ten points must all be distinct. Finally, let $S$ be the sum of the areas of triangles $DEX$, $FGX$, and $HIX$. Kyle earns $S$ points, and Niki earns $1-S$ points. If both players play optimally to maximize the amount of points they get, who will win and by how much?

A very large number of small particles forms a spherical cloud. Initially they are at rest, have uniform mass density per unit volume $\rho_0$, and occupy a region of radius $r_0$. The cloud collapses due to gravitation; the particles do not interact with each other in any other way. How much time passes until the cloud collapses fully? (The constant $0.5427$ is actually $\sqrt{\frac{3 \pi}{32}}$.) $\textbf{(A) } \frac{0.5427}{r_0^2 \sqrt{G \rho_0}}\\ \\ \textbf{(B) } \frac{0.5427}{r_0 \sqrt{G \rho_0}}\\ \\ \textbf{(C) } \frac{0.5427}{\sqrt{r_0} \sqrt{G \rho_0}}\\ \\ \textbf{(D) } \frac{0.5427}{\sqrt{G \rho_0}}\\ \\ \textbf{(E) } \frac{0.5427}{\sqrt{G \rho_0}}r_0$
