1999 Mongolian Mathematical Olympiad, Problem 3

I couldn't solve this problem and the only solution I was able to find was very unnatural (it was an official solution, I think) and I couldn't be satisfied with it, so I ask you if you can find some different solutions. The problem is really great one! If $M$ is the centroid of a triangle $ABC$, prove that the following inequality holds: \[\sin\angle CAM+\sin\angle CBM\leq\frac{2}{\sqrt3}.\] The equality occurs in a very strange case, I don't remember it.

Given is a acute angled triangle $ABC$. The lengths of the altitudes from $A, B$ and $C$ are successively $h_A, h_B$ and $h_C$. Inside the triangle is a point $P$. The distance from $P$ to $BC$ is $1/3 h_A$ and the distance from $P$ to $AC$ is $1/4 h_B$. Express the distance from $P$ to $AB$ in terms of $h_C$.

A sphere with unit radius is given. Furthermore, circles $k_0,k_1,\ldots,k_n\ (n\ge3)$ of the same radius $r$ are given on the sphere. The circle $k_0$ is tangent to all other circles $k_i$ and every two circles $k_i,k_{i+1}$ are tangent for $i=1,\ldots,n$ (assuming $k_{n+1}=k_1$). a) Find relation between numbers $n,r.$ b) Determine for which $n$ the described situation can occur and compute the corresponding radius $r.$ (We say non-planar circles are tangent if they have only a single common point and their tangent lines in this point coincide.)
