The incircle of the triangle ABC touches the sides BC, AC, and AB at points A', B', and C', respectively. It is known that AA'=BB'=CC'. Does the triangle ABC have to be equilateral? (I am very interested in ingenious solution of this problem, because I found an ugly one using Stewart's theorem and tons of algebra during the contest).

p1. One day, a researcher placed two groups of species that were different, namely amoeba and bacteria in the same medium, each in a certain amount (in unit cells). The researcher observed that on the next day, which is the second day, it turns out that every cell species divide into two cells. On the same day every cell amoeba prey on exactly one bacterial cell. The next observation carried out every day shows the same pattern, that is, each cell species divides into two cells and then each cell amoeba prey on exactly one bacterial cell. Observation on day $100$ shows that after each species divides and then each amoeba cell preys on exactly one bacterial cell, it turns out kill bacteria. Determine the ratio of the number of amoeba to the number of bacteria on the first day. p2. It is known that $n$ is a positive integer. Let $f(n)=\frac{4n+\sqrt{4n^2-1}}{\sqrt{2n+1}+\sqrt{2n-1}}$. Find $f(13) + f(14) + f(15) + ...+ f(112).$ p3. Budi arranges fourteen balls, each with a radius of $10$ cm. The first nine balls are placed on the table so that form a square and touch each other. The next four balls placed on top of the first nine balls so that they touch each other. The fourteenth ball is placed on top of the four balls, so that it touches the four balls.
