A triangle is [i]nondegenerate[/i] if its three vertices are not collinear. A particular nondegenerate triangle $\triangle JHU$ has side lengths $x,$ $y,$ and $z,$ and its angle measures, in degrees, are all integers. If there exists a nondegenerate triangle with side lengths $x^2,$ $y^2,$ and $z^2,$ then what is the largest possible angle measure in the original triangle $\triangle JHU,$ in degrees?

All edges of a polyhedron are painted with red or yellow. For an angle of a facet, if the edges determining it are of different colors, then the angle is called [i]excentric[/i]. The[i] excentricity [/i]of a vertex $A$, namely $S_A$, is defined as the number of excentric angles it has. Prove that there exist two vertices $B$ and $C$ such that $S_B + S_C \leq 4$.

Each side of a triangle $ABC$ is divided into three equal parts, and the middle segment in each of the sides is painted green. In the exterior of $\triangle ABC$ three equilateral triangles are constructed, in such a way that the three green segments are sides of these triangles. Denote by $A',B',C'$ the vertices of these new equilateral triangles that don’t belong to the edges of $\triangle ABC$, respectively.
