We consider a fixed point $P$ in the interior of a fixed sphere$.$ We construct three segments $PA, PB,PC$, perpendicular two by two$,$ with the vertexes $A, B, C$ on the sphere$.$ We consider the vertex $Q$ which is opposite to $P$ in the parallelepiped (with right angles) with $PA, PB, PC$ as edges$.$ Find the locus of the point $Q$ when $A, B, C$ take all the positions compatible with our problem.

Sierpinski's triangle is formed by taking a triangle, and drawing an upside down triangle inside each upright triangle that appears. A snake sees the fractal, but decides that the triangles need circles inside them. Therefore, she draws a circle inscribed in every upside down triangle she sees (assume that the snake can do an infinite amount of work). If the original triangle had side length $1$, what is the total area of all the individual circles? [i]2015 CCA Math Bonanza Lightning Round #4.4[/i]
