1985 Bulgaria National Olympiad, Problem 3

A pyramid $MABCD$ with the top-vertex $M$ is circumscribed about a sphere with center $O$ so that $O$ lies on the altitude of the pyramid. Each of the planes $ACM,BDM,ABO$ divides the lateral surface of the pyramid into two parts of equal areas. The areas of the sections of the planes $ACM$ and $ABO$ inside the pyramid are in ratio $(\sqrt2+2):4$. Determine the angle $\delta$ between the planes $ACM$ and $ABO$, and the dihedral angle of the pyramid at the edge $AB$.

Let the set $S = \{P_1, P_2, \cdots, P_{12}\}$ consist of the twelve vertices of a regular $12$-gon. A subset $Q$ of $S$ is called communal if there is a circle such that all points of $Q$ are inside the circle, and all points of $S$ not in $Q$ are outside of the circle. How many communal subsets are there? (Note that the empty set is a communal subset.)

A cubical box with sides of length $7$ has vertices at $(0,0,0)$, $(7,0,0)$, $(0,7,0)$, $(7,7,0)$, $(0,0,7)$, $(7,0,7)$, $(0,7,7)$, $(7,7,7)$. The inside of the box is lined with mirrors and from the point $(0,1,2)$, a beam of light is directed to the point $(1,3,4)$. The light then reflects repeatedly off the mirrors on the inside of the box. Determine how far the beam of light travels before it first returns to its starting point at $(0,1,2)$.

A closed non-self-intersecting polygonal chain is drawn through the centers of some squares on the $8\times 8$ chess board. Every link of the chain connects the centers of adjacent squares either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, where the two squares are adjacent if they share an edge or a corner. For the interior polygon bounded by the chain, prove that the total area of black pieces equals the total area of white pieces. (Author: D. Khramtsov)

In triangle $ABC$, $BC = 23$, $CA = 27$, and $AB = 30$. Points $V$ and $W$ are on $\overline{AC}$ with $V$ on $\overline{AW}$, points $X$ and $Y$ are on $\overline{BC}$ with $X$ on $\overline{CY}$, and points $Z$ and $U$ are on $\overline{AB}$ with $Z$ on $\overline{BU}$. In addition, the points are positioned so that $\overline{UV} \parallel \overline{BC}$, $\overline{WX} \parallel \overline{AB}$, and $\overline{YZ} \parallel \overline{CA}$. Right angle folds are then made along $\overline{UV}$, $\overline{WX}$, and $\overline{YZ}$. The resulting figure is placed on a level floor to make a table with triangular legs. Let $h$ be the maximum possible height of a table constructed from triangle $ABC$ whose top is parallel to the floor. Then $h$ can be written in the form $\tfrac{k \sqrt{m}}{n}$, where $k$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers and $m$ is a positive integer that is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $k + m + n$.
