A triangle with sides $a$, $b$, and $c$ is given. Denote by $s$ the semiperimeter, that is $s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$. Construct a triangle with sides $s - a$, $s - b$, and $s - c$. This process is repeated until a triangle can no longer be constructed with the side lengths given.
For which original triangles can this process be repeated indefinitely?

On each side of a regular tetrahedron with edges of length $1$ one constructs exactly such a tetrahedron. This creates a dodecahedron with $8$ vertices and $18$ edges. We imagine that the dodecahedron is hollow. Calculate the length of the largest line segment that fits entirely within this dodecahedron.

Two turtles, the leader and the slave, are crawling along the plane from point $A$ to point $B$. They crawl in turn: first the leader crawls some distance, then the slave crawls some distance in a straight line towards the leading one. Then the leader crawls somewhere again, after which the slave crawls towards the leader, etc. Finally, they both crawl to $B$. Prove that the slave turtle crawled no more than the leading one.
