Consider a pyramid whose base is an equilateral triangle $BCD$ and whose other faces are triangles isosceles, right at the common vertex $A$. An ant leaves the vertex $B$ arrives at a point $P$ of the $CD$ edge, from there goes to a point $Q$ of the edge $AC$ and returns to point $B$. If the path you made is minimal, how much is the angle $PQA$ ?

In a village there are only $10$ houses, arranged in a circle of a radius $r$ meters. Each has is the same distance from each of the two closest houses. Every year on Sunday of Pascoa, the village priest makes the Easter visit, leaving the parish house (point $A$) and following the path described in Figure 1. This year the priest decided to take the path represented in the Figure 2. Prove that this year the priest will walk another $10r$ meters.

$(BUL 5)$ Let $Z$ be a set of points in the plane. Suppose that there exists a pair of points that cannot be joined by a polygonal line not passing through any point of $Z.$ Let us call such a pair of points unjoinable. Prove that for each real $r > 0$ there exists an unjoinable pair of points separated by distance $r.$

Kikoriki live on the shores of a pond in the form of an equilateral triangle with a side of $600$ m, Krash and Wally live on the same shore, $300$ m from each other. In summer, Dokko to Krash walk $900$ m, and Wally to Rosa - also $900$ m. Prove that in winter, when the pond freezes and it will be possible to walk directly on the ice, Dokko will walk as many meters to Krash as Wally to Rosa.

A boy and his father are standing on a seashore. If the boy stands on his tiptoes, his eyes are at a height of $1$ m above sea-level, and if he seats on father’s shoulders, they are at a height of $2$ m. What is the ratio of distances visible for him in two eases? (Find the answer to $0,1$, assuming that the radius of Earth equals $6000$ km.)

In a triangle $ \vartriangle ABC $, let $ h_a, h_b $ and $ h_c $ the atlitudes. Let $ D $ be the point where the inner bisector of $ \angle BAC $ cuts to the side $ BC $ and $ d_a $ is the distance from the $ D $ point next to $ AB $. The distances $ d_b $ and $ d_c $ are similarly defined. Show that: $$ \dfrac {3} {2} \le \dfrac {d_a} {h_a} + \dfrac {d_b} {h_b} + \dfrac {d_c} {h_c} $$ For what kind of triangles does the equality hold?
