Let $P$ be a point in a square whose side are mirror. A ray of light comes from $P$ and with slope $\alpha$. We know that this ray of light never arrives to a vertex. We make an infinite sequence of $0,1$. After each contact of light ray with a horizontal side, we put $0$, and after each contact with a vertical side, we put $1$.

Let us call a triangle “almost right angle triangle” if one of its angles differs from $90^\circ$ by no more than $15^\circ$. Let us call a triangle “almost isosceles triangle” if two of its angles differs from each other by no more than $15^\circ$. Is it true that that any acute triangle is either “almost right angle triangle” or “almost isosceles triangle”? [i](2 points)[/i]

The rectangular parallelepiped (box) $P$ has some special properties. If one dimension of $P$ were doubled and another dimension were halved, then the surface area of $P$ would stay the same. If instead one dimension of $P$ were tripled and another dimension were divided by $3$, then the surface area of $P$ would still stay the same. If the middle (by length) dimension of $P$ is $1$, compute the least possible volume of $P$.
